{"product_id":"9781625122155","title":"The Genesis of Quave","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe story of the titular ‘Quave’ concerns a group of politically motivated hackers work out of a converted apartment in Queens, New York, and after failing to hack a bank with a traditional virus, decide to create something entirely new – a virus that becomes more than just a virus – a virus that becomes its own functioning entity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eQuave\u003c\/em\u003e takes place in the present day, and tells the story of a new and hyper-advanced virus (the QUasi-Autonomous Viral Entity) which is used experimentally by a politically-motivated hacker group, who target a bank. Gaining self-awareness and learning capacity, the virus exceeds its orders, takes steps to ensure self-preservation, and then becomes paranoid, acting against those who seek to restrict or destroy it. The virus causes extensive damage, both to digital records and the physical world, including a number of murders, before it can be reasoned with. Finally, the virus becomes the object of study and research, although its continued existence may threaten a repeat of the mayhem, or perhaps worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tutor Turtle Press LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031898112240,"sku":"9781625122155","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781625122155_p0.jpg?v=1763864762","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781625122155","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
