Avalanche
General Fiction雪崩
(us) Neil Stephenson
The CIA became the CIA, the Library of Congress became the CIA database; as for Congress, few people knew what it was. The land of the United States is full of franchise states, which are quasi-state entities that are franchise organizations, an institution similar to the McDonald's chain. What about the US government? This thing only exists in a few federal buildings, guarded by federal agents with guns, ready to resist attacks from the streets. This is the United States of the future, a place where bustling traffic coexists with decadence and desolation, where cutting-edge technology mixes with brutality and vulgarity. But above this hustle and bustle, there is another extremely vast and extremely free country: cyberspace, a virtual space composed of computers and networks. In real life, the protagonist of this book is just an insignificant pizza courier, but in the virtual space, he is a leading hacker and a master of double swords. Such a person has the power to destroy the world - or save it...

With the development of civilization for thousands of years, after experiencing several wars, the residents of Albuch divided into two branches: scholars imprisoned in the monastery and ordinary people under the leadership of the secular government. Young Erasma lived in a monastery since he was a child, until one day he accidentally discovered an alien spacecraft hidden in the sky. It turns out that the entire planet is in crisis.

The crashed one-man spacecraft, the dead female alien, the earth spies disguised as scholars, other races on the alien spacecraft... Faced with the absolutely dominant alien organization and the hidden control of the secular government out of selfish desires, how should Erasma and her partners save Albuch?
