Publishers WeeklyJoin us for
New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow and his latest dystopian cyberthriller,
Attack Surface, in which high stakes and real-world paranoia keep the pages turning. In her day job as a counterterrorism wizard for an transnational cybersecurity firm, Masha Maximow made the hacks that allowed repressive regimes to spy on dissidents, and manipulate their every move. The perks were fantastic, and the pay was obscene. But Masha sometimes used her mad skills to help those same troublemakers evade detection, if their cause was just. It was a dangerous game and a hell of a rush. But seriously self-destructive. And unsustainable. Cory Doctorow reads from and discusses
Attack Surface with San Francisco novelist Richard Kadrey, acclaimed author of the Sandman Slim series.
