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.©2021 Nicole Perlroth (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Eleştirmen yorumları

An intricately detailed, deeply sourced and reported history of the origins and growth of the [cyberweapons] market and the global cyberweapons arms race it has sparked . . . This is no bloodless, just-the-facts chronicle. Written in the hot, propulsive prose of a spy thriller, Perlroth’s book sets out from the start to scare us out of our complacency . . . Perlroth comes at the reader hard, like an angry Cassandra who has spent the last seven years of her life unmasking the signs of our impending doom – only to be ignored again and again . . . A strong, data-driven case for action (Jonathan Tepperman)
Perlroth is a longtime cybersecurity reporter for the New York Times, and her book makes a kind of Hollywood entrance . . . Perlroth’s storytelling is part John le Carré and more parts Michael Crichton – ‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’ meets ‘The Andromeda Strain’. Because she’s writing about a boys’ club, there’s also a lot of ‘Fight Club’ in this book . . . And, because she tells the story of the zero-day market through the story of her investigation, it’s got a Frances McDormand ‘Fargo’ quality, too . . . Spellbinding (Jill Lepore)
When the weaknesses of a system can be bought and sold, the results can be calamitous, as This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends shows . . . Engaging and troubling . . . This secretive market is difficult to penetrate, but Perlroth has dug deeper than most and chronicles her efforts wittily
A terrifying exposé of the black market in software bugs . . . Perlroth’s insider accounts provide texture and context that was often missing from news coverage at the time. Storytelling skills honed in her work as a New York Times reporter specialising in cybersecurity make them scarier, particularly because of the collateral damage . . . Yet the thrust of her commendably thorough and determined research is not the damage done, but the market in mayhem that underpins it . . . Perlroth does an admirable job in stripping away the jargon
A stemwinder of a tale of how frightening cyber weapons have been turned on their maker, and the implications for the world when everyone and anyone can now decimate everyone else with a click of a mouse . . . Perlroth takes a complex subject that has been cloaked in opaque techspeak and makes it dead real for the rest of us. You will not look at your mobile phone, your search engine, even your networked thermostat the same way again (Kara Swisher, co-founder of Recode and New York Times opinion writer)

Journalists come in for a lot of criticism, much of it deserved. However, books like this should remind us how important and valuable good journalists are. This story needed to be told and it took the drive and persistence of a very talented, intelligent and brave woman to do it. Nicole Perlroth makes this complex and highly technical world accessible to the public. It shines a light on the very dangerous underbelly of the Internet, which is driven by greed, fear and political ambition. What struck me most was how the public and a country’s infrastructure has become the battlefield and how everyone in the world is likely to be a victim or casualty one day. I really hope that this book is widely read and pressure is put on leaders around the world to restore some sanity before real disaster strikes. Everyone should read this book if they want to understand how the world could end!

Remarkable insights into a secret and deadly world

A really fascinating and in depth look at the world of cybersecurity. The storytelling goes between a history, a series of interviews and a memoir of the author and her foray into this alien world.
I personally found there was too much going on - but I appreciate the challenge of condensing a very technical topic into a relatable story.

This provides a harrowing and detailed account of the threats of internet espionage in modern times. An excellent listen and well narrated. I didn’t want it to finish.

Outstanding

Sounded like Siri trying to read to me. The intonation was all wrong, making it very hard to listen to. Bizarre pronunciations of words like Qatar and Renault.

Truly awful narration

Critical listening. This should be a set text for board members of large organisations. Brilliantly up to date, superbly explained and easily digestible (given the subject matter can be dry). Download now!

A modern masterpiece
