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 "Bugs," Theodore Roszak offers a
"tour de force" 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.
