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' KIM STANLEY ROBINSON
