Seventeen year old Marcus and his friends are in the wrong place at the wrong time during a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. They are held by the Department of Homeland Security for days before being released, only to discover that their city has turned into a surveillance society police state. They decide to resist in the only way they know how: by taking down the DHS.
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.
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.

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.
