THE HIVE CONSTRUCT
Book ID/图书代码： 13160014B74319
English Summary/英文概要： Situated deep in the Sahara Desert, New Cairo is a city built on technology – from the huge, life-giving solar panels that keep it functioning in a radically changed, resource-scarce world to the artificial implants that have become the answer to all and any of mankind’s medical problems.
But it is also a divided city, dominated by a handful of omnipotent corporate dynasties.
And when a devastating new computer virus begins to spread through the poorest districts, shutting down the life-giving implants that enable so many to survive, the city begins to slide into the anarchy of violent class struggle.
Hiding amidst the chaos is Zala Ulora. A gifted hacker and fugitive from justice, she believes she might be able to earn her life back by tracing the virus to its source and destroying it before it destroys the city. Or before the city destroys itself . . .
With its vivid characters, bold ideas and explosive action, The Hive is science fiction at its most exciting, inventive and accessible.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 特里•普拉切特科幻小说奖得主，由一位最具才华的年轻新锐作家所呈现的一幕黑暗中又闪烁着光芒的，富有想象力的惊悚科幻作品。
坐落在撒哈拉大沙漠深处的开罗，是一座以新技术为基础而建立起来的新兴城市，从一个巨大的，赋予生命的太阳电池板的获取能量来保持城市运转，这一创新之举彻底改变了人类的生活，世界资源稀缺性的人工植入物已成为了解决所有人类的医学问题的答案。 但这也沦为了少数权利扩张的几家家族企业所控制的一座分裂城市。
当一个强大的新的计算机病毒开始扩散到城市最为贫困的地区时，关闭生命植入物，能让其他许多人幸存下来，于是乎，这座城市开始陷入激励的阶级斗争无政府状态。 躲在废墟和地下抵抗组织之间的Zala Ulora，是一位有天赋异禀的黑客和逃亡者。 她相信自己也许能通过追踪病毒的来源，在它摧毁城市，或城市毁灭之前消灭病毒，以求得一片生机。
以生动鲜活的故事人物，大胆而富有爆炸性的想法，和令人激动的故事情节，《蜂巢》作为科幻作品将会是一部最让人值得期待的，独具新颖的，和最富有时代象征意义的故事。
