Worm by Mark Bowden
'Masterful journalism, one of the best books about the dark side of the web... turns complex ideas into an action thriller and whodunnit.' The Times
Even simplified for the lay reader, the elegance and audacity of the sparring between Conficker's still unknown creators and the "white hats" who set out to thwart them is grippingBut more than that, it tells us something scary about how vulnerable the internet is, and something rather encouraging about how ingeniously and selflessly people can cooperate in its defence. * Guardian *
One of the more reader-friendly examples of recent tech journalism * Scottish Sunday Herald *
As a writer, Mark Bowden scans the horizon then points to a distant danger the rest of the world cannot yet see... he unscrews the backs of our computers and takes us on a guided tour of the internet where he reveals the chilling extent of its vulnerability. * Scotland on Sunday *
