'Part John le Carré . . . Spellbinding' New Yorker 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
