bestseller A Financial Times and The Times Book of the Year 'A terrifying exposé' The
Times '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 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.
