Description
West Wilder is released on parole with a promise to never hack computers again.
The world he knew has changed and the days of the NSA as a privacy-invading boogeyman seem almost quaint. Now a global security agency called G20S has its digital tentacles everywhere. Ordinary people are treated as threats just because they use the internet.
Someone within G20S is not happy with West’s regained freedom, and puts their thumb on him and his family. "They always get you in the end."
Unless West’s old hacker accomplice Melissa can help …
This hacker thriller envisions a chilling future where citizen hackers are pitted against unaccountable global actors. Everyone who stands up against oppression has to ask themselves – is freedom worth it?

While I'm not a huge fan of hacker thrillers, this one was a bit scary to me because I could see a lot of these things actually happening in real life. It really makes you think about how any move you make digitally can be used for the wrong purpose.

This was a good book! It makes you think and it seems like these hacking scenarios could actually happen, since there is so much unknown with computers.
Thank you to Netgalley, the author, and publisher for this ARC!!

Fantastic read! While this is rather technical in some places, it is realistic in a really frightening way. This is the kind of realistic thriller that keeps me up at night, even after I've finished it. Definitely recommend this if you understand technology. If you don't, you might be a little bored. For me, 4.5⭐
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy. This is my honest opinion of the book.
