I am a man of two minds about this book. On one side I found myself struggling a bit to work through it. It just wasn't hooking me. That doesn't mean it wasn't well written, or that others won't enjoy it. Despite not devouring it, I did respect the accuracy of the story. A lot of authors write about hacking and technology, and absolutely fumble it. That's not the case here. As a professional with over a decade in cybersecurity, I was impressed by the accuracy of the technical components. That's rare in fiction today.

I am clearly in the minority here. I did not like this book. It took me like 10-12 business days to read. It was dry and complicated and boring. Usually something as interesting as hacking would totally pique my interest. I found myself crawling thru these chapters and I didn’t connect to a single character.

Thanks for the eARC NetGalley, just a miss for me.

While I'm not a huge fan of hacker thrillers, this one was a bit scary to me because I could see a lot of these things actually happening in real life. It really makes you think about how any move you make digitally can be used for the wrong purpose.
