...searches for the truth, he meets Lisbeth Salamander (Noomi Rapace), a dangerous girl that has been hacking into his computer since the day he lost a libel trial. The two team-up to solve the mystery surrounding the secretive Vanger family, and their combined efforts eventually lead them to the unsolved crimes of a serial killer...
...turns out that the entire book takes place in one. Sweden, we learn, is always on the warpath; Godley’s own fame comes from his success in cold fusion, a process which only works in his world. One begins to wonder at the potential truth of the grandiose statements that Adam turns over while lying in a coma. “My equations spanned a multitude of universes yet they posited a single world of unity and ultimate order,” he recalls...

Although it has managed to pull through the global crisis of the past two years better than virtually anyone expected (including, truth be told, Beijing's own leadership), its top export markets are still weak, and that is fostering a powerful drive toward boosting domestic consumption. The country also feels threatened by calls - most prominently made by U.S. President Barack Obama - for the renminbi to better reflect market fundamentals. In the past, U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has outright accused China of manipulating the renminbi and most (though not all) economists...
