Summary
In Amnesia, Peter Carey, ‘the greatest Australian writer’ (Richard Flanagan), asks the most vital question of the past seventy years—Has America taken us over?
When Gaby Baillieux releases the Angel Worm into the computers of Australia’s prison system, hundreds of asylum seekers walk free. Worse—an American corporation runs prison security, so the malware infects some 5000 American places of incarceration. Doors spring open. Both countries’ secrets threaten to pour out.
