| 內容簡介: |
PopCo tells the story of Alice Butler-a subversively smart
來源:香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk girl in our commercial-soaked world who grows from recluse orphan
to burgeoning vigilante, buttressed by mystery, codes, math, and
the sense her grandparents gave her that she could change the
world. Alice-slight introvert, crossword compositor- works at
PopCo, a globally successful and slightly sinister toy company.
Lured by their CEO to a Thought Camp out on the moors, PopCo''s
creatives must invent the ultimate product for teenage girls.
Meanwhile, Alice receives bizarre, encrypted messages she suspects
relate to her grandfather''s decoding of a centuries-old manuscript
that many-including her long-disappeared father-believe leads to
buried treasure. Its key, she''s sure, is engraved on the necklace
she''s been wearing since she was ten. Using the skills she learned
from her grandparents and teaching us aspects of cryptanalysis,
Alice discovers the source of these creepy codes. Will this lead
her to the mysterious treasure or another, even more carefully
guarded secret?
