Return to the world of Little Brother and Homeland. Attack Surface
takes us five minutes into the future, to a world where everything is
connected and everyone is vulnerable. Masha Maximow has made some bad
choices in life – choices that hurt people. But she's also made some
pretty decent ones. In the log file of life, however, she can't quite
work out which side of the ledger she currently stands. Masha works
for Xoth Intelligence, an InfoSec company upgrading the Slovstakian
Interior Ministry's ability to spy on its citizens' telecommunications
with state-of-the-art software (at least, as state-of-the-art as Xoth
is prepared to offer in its middle-upper pricing tier). Can you offset
a day-job helping repressive regimes spy on their citizens with a
nighttime hobby where you help those same citizens evade detection?
Masha is about to find out. Pacy, passionate, and as current as next
week, Attack Surface is a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive
to make the world a better place. Praise for Cory Doctorow: 'The right
book at the right time from the right author – and, not entirely
coincidentally, Cory Doctorow's best novel yet' JOHN SCALZI 'A
wonderful, important book... I think it'll change lives' NEIL GAIMAN
on Little Brother 'One of our most important science fiction writers'
