It is 2OO1 in Now York City, in the lull between
the collapse of the dotcom boom and the terrible
events of September 11th. Silicon Alley is a ghost
town, Web l.O is having adolescent
angst,
Google
has yet to IPO,
Microsoft
is still considered the Evil
Empire. There may not be quite as much money
around as there was at the height of the tech bubble,
but there s no shortage of swindlers looking to grab
a piece
ofwhaťs
left.
TVlaxine
Tarnów
is running a nice little fraud
investigation business on the Upper West Side,
chasing down different kinds of small-scale con
artist. She used to be legally certified but her
license got pulled awnile back, which has actually
turned out to be a blessing because now she can
follow her own code of ethics
—
carry a Beretta,
do business with sleazebags, hack into people s
bank accounts
—
without having too much guilt
about any of it. Otherwise, just your average
working mom
—
two boys in elementary school,
an off-and-on situation with her sort of semi-ex-
husband
Horst,
life as normal as it ever gets in the
neighborhood
—
till
ÎVtaxine
starts looking into the
finances of a computer-security firm and its billion¬
aire geek CEO, whereupon things begin rapidly to
jam onto the subway and head downtown. She soon
finds herself mixed up with a drug runner in an
art deco motorboat, a professional nose obsessed
with Hitler s aftershave,
a neoliberal
enforcer with
footwear issues, plus elements of the Russian mob
and various bloggers, hackers, code monkeys, and
entrepreneurs, some of whom begin to show up
mysteriously dead. Foul play, of course.
With occasional excursions into the Deep
Web and out to Long Island, Thomas Pynchon,
channeling his inner Jewish mother, brings us a
historical romance of New York in the early days of
the internet, not that distant in calendar time but
galactically remote from where we
Ve
journeyed
to since.
Will perpetrators be revealed, forget about
brought to justice? Will Maxine have to take the
handgun out of her purse? Will she and
Horst
get back together? Will Jerry Seinfeld make an
unscheduled guest appearance? Will accounts
secular and
karmie
be brought into balance?
Hey. Who wants to know?
