When Gaby Baillieux releases the Angel Worm into Australiaâs prison computer system, hundreds of asylum-seekers walk free. And because the Americans run the prisons (letâs be honest: as they do in so many parts of her country) the doors of some five thousand jails in the United States also open. Is this a mistake, or a declaration of cyber war? And does it have anything to do with the largely forgotten Battle of Brisbane between American and Australian forces in 1942? Or with the CIA-influenced coup in Australia in 1975? Felix Moore, known to himself as âour sole remaining left-wing journalist,â is determined to write Gabyâs biography in order to find the answersâto save her, his own career, and, perhaps, his country. But how to get Gabyâon the run, scared, confused, and angryâto cooperate?
Bringing together the world of hackers and radicals with the âspecial relationshipâ between the United States and Australia, and Australia and the CIA, Amnesia is a novel that speaks powerfully about the often hidden pastâbut most urgently about the more and more hidden present.
