Meir aktuell no enn då

4 stars

Dette er ei bok du gjer, ikkje ei bok du leser, seier forfattar Doctorow sjølv. Ansjå den som ei lærebok som også er ei underhaldande historie – ei som i desse dagar er meir aktuell enn då boka vart utgiven.

Not far from reality and current development of state control

5 stars

The most scary thing is the fact we already live in a society that uses terrorism and other boogeymen to tighten the control of communication and movement of the citizens.

IT security is well explained. Even if this book is for youth, I realized I didn't fully understand some security concepts (public-private key) until now.

Probably my favorite Doctorow book. All about the problematic reaction the US government has in responding to terrorism, and an imagined near future where some find new ways to fight back.
