Jean le Flambeur
Hannu Rajaniemi · 3 novels · 2010–2014
Jean le Flambeur is a master thief broken out of a virtual prison to pull off one more impossible heist, in a solar system reshaped by uploaded minds, post-human factions, and economies built on memory and privacy themselves. Hannu Rajaniemi's trilogy - The Quantum Thief, The Fractal Prince, The Causal Angel - is dense, idea-heavy hard SF that trusts readers to piece its future together from context rather than exposition.
