Interrogated for days by the Department of Homeland Security in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco, California, seventeen-year-old Marcus is released into what is now a police state, and decides to use his expertise in computer hacking to set things right.I love conspiracy-type books (I read Tom Clancy & watch "24"), I have an interest in computers (but lots of what was in this book went way over my head). What a great book to pair with "1984"...this could lead to awesome class discussions. Paranoid person that I am, I think many of the surveillance issues are a valid problem. The teen characters seemed like those hackers you read about (but I have never known any in our school that are that capable...or maybe there have been & we just didn't recognize their abilities.) The whole teen game thing was something that I don't understand...but it was interesting to read about.
