Book by Chippindale Peter
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
It is December 1999 and, as the millennium approaches, all is not well in the Land of the Gods. The deities, engrossed in their petty squabbles, are bored out of their immortal skulls with the hapless earthlings in their charge. So when GOD, the central computer running the universe, offers them the alternative of endless virtual reality games in Mega Retroland, they jump at the chance to shrug off their responsibilities forever. While GOD continues to send streams of inconsequential e-mails, it seems only mighty Jupiter, and his equally powerful consort Juno, are left to care about the disintegration of mortal society. Until Cupid hacks into GOD's mainframe and uncovers a sinister plot, masterminded by the Beast in the Machine.
Suddenly the race is on. Are the gods doomed? Or can they fight back in time to save not just themselves, but all of us on Planet Earth?
Peter Chippindale was born in 1945. He began writing seriously as a front page investigative journalist on the Guardian. He then went on to make documentaries for London Weekend Television before leaving to concentrate on his writing. He is the author or co-author of more than a dozen non-fiction books, including the critically acclaimed trilogy on the media industry - Disaster!, Dished! and Stick It Up Your Punter! - the latter recently republished. Laptop of the Gods is Peter's second work of fiction following Mink. He has three young children and lives with his wife Susie near the sea in Cornwall.
