A novel written by David Pogue about a computer virus that spreads, destroying files as viruses tend to do.

Artelligence is on the threshold of releasing their new slam-bang voice recognition hardware and software for the Macintosh when their beta testers begin mysteriously contracting a very nasty virus that deletes files, oldest first. After the death of its star programmer, Gam Lampert, the ragtag team of contracted hackers must find their way through his spaghetti code and find the secret before it's too late.

Features miracles, impossibilities, and unlikely scenarios, such as programmers hooking up with attractive blonde publicists, the military using voice recognition to control a self-guided missile, and emulators turning Macintosh software into bug-free UNIX software.
