Lisa Mason's critically-acclaimed debut novel, widely considered a classic of cyberpunk literature, receives a distinctive new look.In the not-too-distant future, high above the mean streets of post-quake San Francisco, mechanically modified professionals link minds in cybernetic "telespace" -- everything from business deals to legal decisions can now be accomplished with lightning speed. But, when young hotshot lawyer Carly Nolan discovers a deadly scheme afoot -- someone, something, is stealing human souls, and her unconscious mind is the latest target -- she finds she must entrust her career and her mind to an enigmatic robot therapist.-- When Lisa Mason's novel "Arachne" was first published in 1990, it was hailed as an instant classic of cyberpunk literature.
