How did a young woman from suburban Melbourne become America’s Public Enemy Number One?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Gaby Baillieux releases the Angel Worm into Australia’s prison system, hundreds of asylum seekers walk free. Worse: an American corporation runs prison security, so the malware infects some 5,000 American places of incarceration. Doors spring open. Both countries’ secrets threaten to pour out.<\/p>\n

Was this American intrusion a mistake, or had Gaby declared cyberwar on the US? Felix Moore – known to himself as “Australia’s last serving left-wing journalist’ – has no doubt. Her act was part of the cover conflicts between Australia and America.<\/p>\n

That conflict dates back to the largely forgotten Battle of Brisbane in 1943, forward to the secret CIA station near Alice Springs, and has as its most outrageous act the coup of 1975. Funded by his property-developer mate Woody Townes, Felix\u00a0is going to write Gaby’s biography, to save her, and himself, and maybe his country.<\/p>\n

But how to get Gaby to cooperate? What role does her film-star mother have to play? And what, after all, does Woody really want?<\/p>\n

Booker Prize winner Peter Carey brings together the world of cyber hackers and radicals with the dark side of the ‘special relationship’ between the United States, the CIA and its friend and client, Australia. Amnesia<\/em> is Carey at his best: dark, sunny, exhilarating. It is a novel that speaks powerfully about our hostly but most urgent about our present.<\/p>\n
