Synopsis

Behind China’s Great Firewall, fifty thousand internet police comb the web for political dissent, erasing every trace they find. When journalist Chen Bo exposes corrupt officials through his blog and turns nationalistic protesters against their own government, Director Yang deploys the full force of China’s high tech police state to stop him. Evan Svenson, an American internet executive under the spell of China’s booming economy and the seductive Mei Lin, collaborates with the police. As millions take to the streets and a cyber chase races from the back alleys of old Guangzhou to the skyscrapers of new Shanghai, the future of the most populous nation on earth hangs in the balance.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Nathan Green first went to China in the early nineties as a fresh college graduate captivated by eastern philosophy. He taught English at an iron and steel factory in remote Sichuan province, learned Mandarin, and lived with a Chinese family in a rural village on the banks of the Yangtze River. Two years later, Nathan returned to America, finished graduate school and then went back to China to help a nation of ambitious new entrepreneurs. One of those entrepreneurs was the founder of China’s then largest internet company and one of the ten wealthiest men in the country. While serving on his executive team, Nathan enjoyed a front row seat for China’s struggle to control the internet.
