An ambitious Singapore gangster recruits an elite hacker to steal a devastatingly powerful quantum computer and hijack the world’s financial markets. Meanwhile, a beautiful streetwise CIA agent is determined to foil their plan in a case that could make or break her career.
With settings ranging from Detroit to Singapore to the slums of Bihar, India (the “Sicily of India”), Qubit examines both the vulnerability of our cryptographic infrastructure and corruptibility of our financial systems. The story features international intrigue, a violent gang war, an unlikely love story, and an intricate cryptographic chess match that takes place as the global economy teeters on the brink of collapse.
Praise for Qubit:
“Brilliant…Well written with complex characters…An author to follow.”
“Outstanding! The characters…are wonderfully fleshed out.”

I was born in Moscow in 1975. Although I speak English, Hebrew, German and a little Ukrainian, Russian is still my native language, so please cut this bio some slack. Unlike my book, it wasn't proofread by a professional translator:).
It took me about three years to write God's Memory, because I actually have a full-time job, which is extremely time-consuming. I work as a creative/art director for one of the biggest game development companies in the world. I love my job, it has allowed me to travel the world, speak in front of thousands of people, and develop as a person. It has also taught me a lot about writing, as all games have to have plots, characters, and trailers. But there is one thing that I have always dreamed of doing in addition to that:
Writing a real book.
Personally, I am not a big fan of cliche, predictable plots, dragons, wizards, or superheroes who can survive a nuclear blast, or outsmart entire governments. I know it sells well, and that's what people enjoy reading, but there are a lot of other people doing that, and doing it so well, that I don't think there is any room left on that market for someone like me. And anyway, I am rather a fan of classical literature, of writers like Maupassant and Tolstoy.
