Cory Doctorow is a science fiction author, activist, journalist and blogger – the co-editor of Boing Boing and the author of many books: In Real Life, a graphic novel; Information Doesn't Want to Be Free, a book about earning a living in the Internet age; and Homeland, the awardwinning, bestselling sequel to the 2008 YA novel Little Brother. Cory has been on the frontline of international debates on privacy, copyright and freedom of information for over a decade.What pushed <i>Attack Surface</i> above other near future and technothrillers is its social consciousness and Doctorow's commitment to knowing his subject matter. I don't think I have read another piece of fiction that has informed me as much as this one about real-world technology. The writing style and character development is enough to satisfy any reader of speculative fiction but for those that like their fiction tech heavy, they will love it
SF Book Reviews
Where this book really wins though is presenting the stark future of the advent of mass and oppressive surveillance of the population at large and the choices that we have to make very soon as a society to curtail government and private sector intrusion into our private lives. This is 1984 in real life; your life. Oh, and read the two afterwords too; they should make you think
Halfman, Halfbook
Interesting... Intellectually rigorous... <i>Little Brother</i>, <i>Homeland</i>, and <i>Attack Surface</i> are three vitally important novels. Nobody describes how the system works against us quite like Cory Doctorow does'
- Geek Dad,
Doctorow is a riveting speaker, and he writes the way he speaks... He writes fascinating, interesting villains with comprehensible motivation'
