Bugs

Nobody could have imagined that information technology the towering colossus that dominates our world would meet its match in an innocent six-year-old girl named Daphne. Yet the vengeful horror that this psychically gifted child lures out of the secret recesses of the world's computers rapidly grows into a global calamity. As the crisis deepens powers darker and more mysterious than modern science can understand must be invoked in order to defend a threatened humanity. In <I>Bugs</I> Theodore Roszak offers a <I>tour de force</I> exercise in science fiction. He ingeniously combines the divergent worlds of high tech the occult and feminist psychology. With admirable ambiguity he leaves us to wonder if Daphne's bugs -- these arcane forces that stubbornly resist the advance of technology -- are mankind's enemies or allies.
