Il Codice: e le Tre Grandezze Virtuali
Ti sei mai chiesto cosa c’è dietro ogni clic che fai nell’internet? Che cosa accadrebbe se la tua vita online fosse utilizzata per modificare il tuo futuro? Mentre l’internet modella una nuova era, tre corporazioni diventano i sovrani di un mondo virtuale chiamato Etherea. Il signor Davis, Amministratore Delegato di Apollo Corporations, dovrà combattere due inediti nemici che cercano la supremazia nell’universo. Mentre la storia aspetta che scegli la tua squadra, il mondo fisico assiste alla corsa spaziale tra gli Stati Uniti e la Cina. L’imminente Grande Guerra istituirà una nuova era nell’intero universo mentre la scoperta di una Nuova Terra si avvicina. Il destino degli umani e non-umani dipende dalla sopravvivenza delle Tre Grandezze Virtuali, oppure la loro distruzione. Tecnologie innovative e la modernizzazione della guerra e la politica definiranno nuove forme di colonizzazione dello spazio cosmico. Chi potrà abitare nella Nuova Terra? Che cosa accadrà a chi rimasse qui? In un universo d’infinite equazioni, soltanto un algoritmo sarà capace di fermare la Grande Guerra fisica e virtuale. Le Tre Grandezze è il primo libro de la trilogia Il Codice, da Willyam Thums.

More of a Fantasy than Sci-Fi Tech
This book is the first of a planned trilogy about computer code and a virtual world. This category is very popular subject wise and a number of futurist authors have written about this and their books are quite good because of their technology backgrounds.
This book is actually more like a fantasy. It is quite ambitious, but I had trouble with some of the world building since I have two degrees in IT. Any IT good IT director will tell you that no system is hackproof. Black hat hackers will hack systems for fun and profit. Companies quietly hire hackers to test their systems so they can fix vulnerable points in their systems. The parts about a secret compartment with only one key and a special area aren't plausible for me. Internet and computer wise there is a lot of competition, but not in this fantasy world. LA without traffic lights is definitely not plausible. Australia has 25 million people, roughly the same amount as Texas. California has 40 million people, and LA County has over 11million alone. LA traffic is similar to China and India.
While the main focus is the code and virtual reality world, other elements are added including spies and political intrigue. The proofreading didn't catch many of the grammatical errors. Character dialog is not noted with enclosed parenthesis as is typical in writing, so it was difficult for me to follow the speech dialogs. It would be beneficial for an English and computer major to consult to aid the world building and content focus. A great deal of thought went into this work and it shows. It is an interesting idea, but more will be needed to stand out in a crowded field.

Um pedido: não demore para escrever a continuação!
Fácil compreensão do texto, modo de comunicar-se, bem como sua identificação no tempo e espaço, acredito que um livro destinado para todas as idades.
A leitura do início ao fim é como se você estivesse ali de alguma maneira, sentindo-se parte, torcendo pelo protagonista (indivíduo extremamente carismático e apaixonante) e vivendo a história, em momentos que parecem tão atuais e outros extremamente futurísticos e tecnológicos, mas nunca impossíveis. É envolvente e te faz sair de casa pensando “e se aquilo fosse assim?”, “será que vai demorar muito?”, “nossa, que avanço importante, pq estão demorando tanto?!”.
Traz frases e reflexões de grande sabedoria e virtudes, muito sobre humanidade, que notadamente deveriam ser pensadas com mais intensidade e frequência, tópico que por vezes não é levantado em livros modernos de ficção.
