We plug in anything we can to the internet. We can control our entire lives, economy and grid via a remote web control. But over the past decade, as this transformation took place, we never paused to think that we were also creating the world’s largest attack surface. And that the same nation that maintains the greatest cyber advantage on earth could also be among its most vulnerable.

Filled with spies, hackers, arms dealers and a few unsung heroes, This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends is an astonishing and gripping feat of journalism. Drawing on years of reporting and hundreds of interviews, Nicole Perlroth lifts the curtain on a market in shadow, revealing the urgent threat faced by us all if we cannot bring the global cyber arms race to heel.©2021 Nicole Perlroth (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Freedom & Security Intelligence & Espionage International Relations National & International Security Politics & Government

Fantastic overview of a scary hacker subculture I didn’t know existed, and some of the weapons they have trained on all of us in a Cold War-esque standoff of mutually assured destruction between states. Very well narrated by the author.

Excellent

I would use another term for this book, one we used in college. But social media may have accused me of using unparliamentary language. So, I will say that the book blew my mind.

I have known of the growth of cyberwar and espionage. But this book exposed a shadowy world, which should make you panic. Once upon a time, people used carrier pigeons, embedded microphones into walls, or spied on typewriters.

We live in a connected world, and it is sobering to realize that none of our great tech giants or state agencies have great defense systems. It is sobering to realize that our phones can be broken in minutes.
What will the future bring? I don't know.

Nicole wove a compelling and engaging tale. It will keep you hooked and worried.

The audiobook is excellent. Allyson Ryan is superb and keeps the tale moving. She has a pleasant voice, and brings enough energy to the narrative.
