West William Wilder

West Wilder is released on parole with a promise to never hack computers again. He just wants to recoup his young adulthood. But the world he knew has changed. The days of the NSA as a privacy-invading boogeyman seem almost quaint. Now a global security agency called G20S has its digital tentacles everywhere. Ordinary people are treated as threats just because they use the internet. Someone within G20S is not happy with West's regained freedom, and puts their thumb on him and his family. They always get you in the end. Unless West's old hacker accomplice Melissa can help … This hacker thriller, ripped from the headlines of today's newspapers, envisions a chilling future where citizen hackers are pitted against unaccountable global actors. Everyone who stands up against oppression has to ask themselves – is freedom worth it?
