It was fast paced and pertinent.
It explores how our society is moving more and more into a surveillance state. We are inexorably losing our freedoms.
We follow the adventure of Marcus Yallow and his friends after his hometown of San Francisco suffers a terrorist attack.
It is a subversive novel designed for young readers to take seriously their privacy and right to use encryption.
Interestingly, even though the story itself was very entertaining I found the essays and bibliography at the end to be just as compelling.
