WOLVES
Book ID/图书代码： 13000514B73450
English Summary/英文概要： The new novel from Simon Ings is a story that balances on the knife blade of a new technology. Augmented Reality uses computing power to overlay a digital imagined reality over the real world. Whether it be adverts or imagined buildings and imagined people with Augmented Reality the world is no longer as it appears to you, it is as it is imagined by someone else. Ings takes the satire and mordant satirical view of J.G. Ballard and propels it into the 21st century.
Two friends are working at the cutting edge of this technology and when they are offered backing to take the idea and make it into the next global entertainment they realise that wolves hunt in this imagined world. And the wolves might be them.
A story about technology becomes a personal quest into a changed world and the pursuit of a secret from the past. A secret about a missing mother, a secret that could hide a murder. This is no dry analysis of how a technology might change us, it is a terrifying thriller, a picture of a dark tomorrow that is just around the corner.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Simon Ings 的新小说探讨了新科技的利弊。“增强现实”利用计算机的力量在真实的世界上架构一个虚拟的数字世界。不管是广告还是虚拟的建筑和人物，“增强现实”都能让这个世界变得跟人们想象中的一样，而不是其本身的样子。Ings 采用了J.G.巴拉德式的荒诞写法，并将其融入到21世纪中。
两位知交好友都在“增强现实”的前沿领域做研究。当有人愿意提供支持让他们将这种科技变成另一种全球娱乐方式，他们意识到在这个虚拟的世界里狼是会吃人的。而他们就可能是狼。
这本来是一个关于科技的故事，却变成一个人追求改变世界、探寻过去的秘密的故事。这个秘密关于一位失踪的母亲，可能是一桩谋杀案。本书并不是枯燥地分析科技会给我们本身带来的变化，而是一部令人胆寒的恐怖小说，描绘了即将来临的黑暗明天。(LNL)
