Interrogated for days by the Department of Homeland Security in the aftermath of a terrorist attack on San Francisco, 17-year-old Marcus is released into what is now a police state and decides to use his expertise in computer hacking to set things right.
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.

First Cory Doctorow book I read, just amazing!
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.
