Critics Review
A techno-thriller with wit and style. It reminded me of Chris Brookmyre, and praise doesn’t come higher than that.
If espionage today is all about hack and counter-hack, which it clearly is, then Tom Chatfield has just written the classic twenty-first century spy thriller. Move over James Bond: Azi Bello has hacked your smartphone and he owns you.Fast and funny, dangerous and blinding-bright … an adrenaline-rush of a book for our menacing timesa seething knot of spies, hackers, terrorists, tech and humans: absolutely brilliant.I read this from behind the sofa… I can’t think of a better way to learn about hacking and the dark web … Halfway between a TED talk and rollercoaster!A rollicking good cyber thriller - one to make William Gibson proud … Tom Chatfield deftly inserts his encyclopedic knowledge of hacker history and prehistory into the headlong forward motion of this story, and the critical mass that discreetly builds up amounts to a prediction of the future.Accomplished and chilling … Chatfield writes with real skill, intelligence, and, despite the grim story, humor - Publishers WeeklyPunchy, powerful and one hell of a wild ride, this is thriller writing at its absolute bestAbout The Author
