About the Book

This mesmerizing first novel about a demonic, elusive computer bug and the havoc it wreaks also tells a story about obsession and love that takes readers deep into both the personal and virtual life.

Review :
"Thrilling and intellectually fierce. . . . The novel of ideas is alive and well."--"The New York Times Review of Books " "Takes the techno-novel to a new level of literary excellence. . . . Ullman resembles Kafka in the way she writes so vividly and clearly about states of paranoid anxiety. . . . This is magnetic fiction." --"San Francisco Chronicle ""Ardent, brilliantly tactile. . . . Offers endless systems twists and turns. Technophiles can revel in its UNIX complexities while the rest of us delight in its user-friendly explanations, but the moral conundra The Bug poses are far more rewarding, and discomfiting."--"Newsday ""Extraordinary. . . . This fascinating tale leaves the reader wondering about the line between science and art, analysis and feeling. . . . Perfect for our time."--"USA Today ""No one writes more eloquently than Ullman about the peculiar mind-set of the people who create the digital tools we use every day. . . A thriller-like tale of hubris and self-destruction that never stoops to cheap tricks. . . . At stake is not just the program, but the fragile belief that we can master ourselves and our fates." -Laura Miller, "Salon " "Suspenseful. . . Think Mary Shelley in the Silicon Valley." -"Elle " "A fascinating literary study of an often-misunderstood culture." -"Chicago Tribune " "A blistering novel about love, hate, and psychopathy. . . At its best, [it] finds in computers the same eerie allure that DeLillo's "White Noise "found in televisions."-"Kirkus Reviews " "Illuminating. . . . a combination of poetic and philosophical sensibilities that plumb the abstruse depths of technological creation." -"Publishers Weekly ""Ullman is a rarity, a software engineer who is also a wonderful writer." -"New Scientist """The Bug" should be read by every software developer-and every end user who has ever experienced a software crash-if only to know that they're not alone in their endless fightt
