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
