Polostan

來自《終極震撼》（Termination Shock）與《密碼沉思錄》（Cryptonomicon）的《紐約時報》榜首暢銷作家，獻上全新宏偉史詩系列的第一部——一部關於陰謀與國際諜報的龐大歷史史詩，預告了原子時代的黎明。

作為尼爾·史蒂芬森《原子之光》（Bomb Light）三部曲的第一部作品，《極客宣言》（Polostan）講述了神祕女子唐·瑞·比約恩貝格（Dawn Rae Bjornberg）的早年生活。唐出生於美國西部的一個牛仔無政府主義家族，俄國革命後，她被身為堅定列寧主義者的俄籍父親帶到列寧格勒撫養，並被重新命名為「奧蘿拉」。她在俄羅斯度過了童年，隨後在蒙大拿州度過青少年時期；在大恐慌最嚴重的時期，她捲入了華盛頓特區街頭的軍火走私與革命活動。當一段關於她過去的驚人揭露使她成為美國當局的眼中釘時，唐返回了俄羅斯，在那裡她被後來演變為KGB的情報組織培養成一名間諜。

以二十世紀初的動盪數十年為背景，《極客宣言》（Polostan）是一部極具創意、細節豐富且娛樂性極高的歷史史詩，也是尼爾·史蒂芬森令人著迷的全新系列的起點。

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Termination Shock and Cryptonomicon, the first installment in a monumental new series—an expansive historical epic of intrigue and international espionage, presaging the dawn of the Atomic Age.

The first installment in Neal Stephenson’s Bomb Light cycle, Polostan follows the early life of the enigmatic Dawn Rae Bjornberg. Born in the American West to a clan of cowboy anarchists, Dawn is raised in Leningrad after the Russian Revolution by her Russian father, a party line Leninist who re-christens her Aurora. She spends her early years in Russia but then grows up as a teenager in Montana, before being drawn into gunrunning and revolution in the streets of Washington, D.C., during the depths of the Great Depression. When a surprising revelation about her past puts her in the crosshairs of U.S. authorities, Dawn returns to Russia, where she is groomed as a spy by the organization that later becomes the KGB.

Set against the turbulent decades of the early twentieth century, Polostan is an inventive, richly detailed, and deeply entertaining historical epic, and the start of a captivating new series from Neal Stephenson.
