Der Code: und die Drei Virtuellen Größen

by Willyam Thums

Haben Sie sich jemals gefragt, was hinter jedem Klick im Internet steckt? Was ist, wenn die Daten aus Ihrem Online-Leben dazu verwendet werden, Ihre eigene Zukunft zu ver�ndern? W�hrend das Internet eine neue �ra pr�gt, werden drei Unternehmen zu den Machthabern einer virtuellen Welt namens Etherea. Mr. Davis, der CEO von Apollo Corporations, wird gegen zwei beispiellose Feinde k�mpfen m�ssen, die im Universum die Vorherrschaft anstreben. W�hrend die Geschichte auf Sie wartet, sich einer Seite anzuschlie�en, wird die physische Welt Zeuge des Wettlaufs zwischen den USA und China. Der bevorstehende Gro�e Krieg wird ein neues Zeitalter im gesamten Universum begr�nden, w�hrend sich eine neue Erde uns n�hert. Das Schicksal der Menschen und Nichtmenschen h�ngt vom �berleben oder der Zerst�rung von den Drei Virtuellen Gr��en ab. Innovative Technologien und die Modernisierung von Krieg und Politik werden neue Formen der Kolonisation im Weltraum definieren. Wer wird diese Neue Erde bewohnen? Was passiert mit denen, die hier verbleiben? In einem Universum unendlicher Gleichungen kann nur ein Algorithmus den physischen und den virtuellen Ersten Weltkrieg stoppen. Die Drei Virtuellen Gr��en ist das erste Buch der Code-Trilogie von 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.
Recomendo a leitura
