The story centers around illegal computer hackers who create a different reality in various goverment and commercial data spaces. It also contains that hoary old gadget the mind-machine interface, but Vernor Vinge makes it work surprisingly well. The novella is available in Binary Star #5 which also contains the atrocious Nightflyers. The Binary Star series is reminiscent of the old Ace double paperbacks. If you like fantasy role playing, you're sure to like True Names.
