Amnesia Book Review

My interpretation of the short review for Amnesia a novel by Peter Carey; loosely a story about Felix, one of the last Australian left-wing journalist, who is tasked with penning a biography on recently arrested cyber-hacker Gaby Baillieux. Gabby set out her Angel worm virus; which was targeted directly at the Australian prison computer system, setting free hundreds of asylum seekers . Now Felix has to find a means for her cooperation, pen her story and hopefully save his career in the process.
