Clay Jannon, 26 and newly employed as a night clerk in a rather odd 24-hour book store, finds himself on a literary and technological adventure. He is determined to solve the "Founder's Puzzle" and its deeper implications. The story revolves around the quest to explore "Old Knowledge" (stored in books), "Traditional Knowledge" (stored in people's heads) and the internet. If you are looking for something a little bit different this is the book for you.

Classic line: "He nodded at me and gave me a weak wave. 'What do you seek in these shelves?'
That was a good line and for some reason it made me feel comfortable. I asked, 'Am I speaking to Mr Penumbra?'
'I am Penumbra' - he nodded - 'and I am the custodian of this place.'
I didn't quite realise I was going to say it until I did: 'I'm looking for a job'. pg 13.
