Publisher Description
Why me? It was to be the last thought a young prostitute, Rune-Balot, would ever have...as a human anyway. Taken in by a devious gambler named Shell, she became a slave to his cruel desires and would have been killed by his hand if not for the self-aware All-Purpose Tool (and little yellow mouse) known as Oeufcoque. Now a cyborg, Balot is not only nigh-invulnerable but has the ability to disrupt electrical systems of all sorts. But even these powers may not be enough for Balot to deal with Shell, who offloads his memories to remain above the law, the immense assassin Dimsdale-Boiled, or the neon-noir streets of Mardock City itself.
Customer Reviews
A must for Matrix and Ghost in the Shell fans
This book is about a heroine who endures unspeakable tragedy, but subsequently rises above her tragic beginnings by finding her inner strength and true friends that she can rely upon. This is not merely a re-hash of Ghost in the Shell or Matrix, but is an entirely unique story in its own right. As stated in the title, folks who enjoy technological thrillers should love this book.
WARNING! The subject matter in this book is very mature and may be disturbing to some. This is not for the faint of heart.
