Like the blurb says, "A Count of Monte Cristo for the dot.com generation". Hugely enjoyable tale of revenge, best served cold. The pages just fly by. I was especially impressed when Fry started talking about newsgroups and internet service providers and web-cams and through it all, never made a single technical error. That's a better track record than Neal Stephenson right there. Sure, later on, he has a character disable another one's computer remotely in a way that's not realistic, but that was a very minor thing.
I just added everything that Fry has ever written to my todo-list, so that should tell you all you need to know.
