07.15: Charlie Huston

2013-06-13 22:35:31| Powells Books Events Calendar

Skinner founded his career in "asset protection" on fear. To touch anyone under his protection was to invite destruction. A savagely effective methodology, until Skinner's CIA handlers began to fear him as much as his enemies did and banished him to the hinterlands of the intelligence community. Now, an ornate and evolving cyberterrorist attack is about to end that long exile. His asset is Jae, a roboticist with a gift for seeing the underlying systems violently shaping a new era of global guerrilla warfare. At the root of it all is a young boy, the innocent seed of a plot grown in the slums of Mumbai. Brought to flower, that plot will tip the balance of world power in a perilous new direction. A combination of le Carré spycraft with Stephenson techno-philosophy, Skinner (Mulholland Books) is Charlie Huston's masterpiece — a new kind of thriller for a new kind of world. Huston will be joined in conversation by comic book writers Matt Fraction and Brian Michael Bendis.
