But not for long, because seriously strange things have started happening. <p/>Banks are handing out free money, supermarkets aren't able to charge for their products so people are getting free food, and aircrafts are refusing to fly. It looks like the world's biggest and best computers have all been hacked. And no one knows why... <p/>It's up to George and Annie to travel further into space than ever before in order to find out what--or who--is behind it.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Stephen Hawking was a brilliant theoretical physicist and is generally considered to have been one of the world's greatest thinkers.
