"The words brilliant and exemplary aren't adequate enough to convey
the amazing craft of "Lexicon."" --The Associated Press
Few books are greeted with rave reviews everywhere from "Time"
magazine and "Salon" to Boingboing and io9. Yet, Max Barry's
"Lexicon" is that rare thing: a thriller as high-octane as they
come, driven by a brilliant and original plot that connects very
modern questions of privacy and data collection to centuries-old
ideas about the power of language.
At an exclusive training school at an undisclosed location outside
Washington, D.C., students are taught to control minds, to wield
words as weapons. The very best graduate as "poets" and enter a
nameless organization of unknown purpose. Recruited off the street,
whip-smart Emily Ruff quickly learns the one key rule: never allow
another person to truly know you. Emily becomes the school's most
talented prodigy, until she makes the catastrophic mistake of
falling in love.
