Refusing to accept blame when he is held responsible for forty thousand Silicon Valley telephones going dead, AT&T employee Andy Faulkner finds himself facing a murder charge and the kidnapping of his deaf son, Wayne. Reprint.
This book was not awful, but did not pass the test for keeping me interested, so I'm setting it down (actually setting it free to find a new home) and will start reading something else. I'm not going to rate it since I don't think it is really a bad book, just a bit outdated, and not capturing my attention.
This had a great hayday of science fiction feel to it – almost a punchcard, computer era thing going on, despite terms like broadband. The disability aspect was interesting, though in fact the minicom equipment didn’t actually impact the story any which was a bit of a shame. Still, interesting for its technology more than its psychology, but interesting nevertheless.
