A hacker flips the script

Attack Surface is a brilliant, standalone novel from Cory Doctorow that’s set in the world of bestsellers Little Brother and Homeland.

Most days, Masha Maximow was sure she'd chosen the winning side. In her day job as a counterterrorism wizard for a cybersecurity firm, she made the hacks that allowed repressive regimes to spy on dissidents, and manipulate their every move.

When her targets were strangers in faraway states, it was easy to ignore the collateral damage of murder and torture. But when it hits close to home, and the hacks she’s devised are directed at her friends and family—including Marcus Yallow, her old crush and archrival—Masha realizes she has to choose. And whatever choice she makes, someone is going to get hurt.
