Description - True Names by Vernor Vinge
Penguin Worlds introduces a seminal cyberpunk adventure
Mr Slippery is an illegal computer hacker - a Warlock - and an expert in a new virtual reality technology called the Other Plane. Arrested by the US government and forced to work for them, he finds himself pitted against a new and frightening international cybercriminal- the Mailman.
The Mailman is building a network of Warlocks, promising them wealth and power, causing chaos around the globe - but noone has ever met him in person. As Mr Slippery and his sidekick Erythrina drain the world's power to track down their formidable adversary, they begin to wonder if they are chasing a ghost. Is the Mailman a man at all? Is he even human?
