2099: Doomsday by John Peel

Taking place one hundred years in the future of when it was written, the setting of this story is a possible world under a totalitarian system. Devon considers himself to be better than anyone else on Earth, and he finds it fun to destroy people and show his power. His clone, Tristan, was adopted and raised by the Connors, and did not know anything about where he came from. Devon, Tristan, and Genia are all genius computer hackers in a world where absolutely everything is networked. Devon has programmed a computer virus called “Doomsday,” which is designed to destroy every network function in the world and cause utter chaos. Tristan and Genia each try to stop the virus in their own way, but at the end of the book their efforts have so far been unsuccessful.
