The previously untold - and previously highly classified - story of the conflux of espionage and technology, a compelling narrative rich with astonishing revelations, taking listeners from World War II to the Internet age.
As the digital era becomes increasingly pervasive, the intertwining forces of computers and espionage are reshaping the entire world; what was once the preserve of a few intelligence agencies now affects us all. Corera's compelling narrative takes us from the Second World War through the Cold War and the birth of the Internet to the present era of hackers and surveillance. The book is rich with historical detail and characters as well as astonishing revelations about espionage carried out in recent times by the United Kingdom, the United States, and China. Using unique access to the NSA, GCHQ, Chinese officials, and senior executives from some of the most powerful global technology companies, Gordon Corera has gathered compelling stories from heads of state, hackers, and spies of all stripes.
Cyberspies is a groundbreaking exploration of the new space in which the worlds of espionage, diplomacy, international business, science, and technology collide.

If you could sum up Cyberspies in three words, what would they be?
I like how the book started with crypto from WWII, but I didn't like nor appreciate the British slant. I respect the British, I think they have done a lot of good, but I'm sorry America has done a TON of good as well. In fact if it wasn't for America there would be no England and they all would be speaking German right now.What did you like best about this story?
I really enjoy the technology. And the sticky subject of handling cyber crime. In the near future we as the United States are going to have to put our BIG BOY pants on and truly address phishing, cyber crime, email privacy, etc.....Would you listen to another book narrated by Gildart Jackson?
No.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Do you know where your data is?Any additional comments?
Decent book, I did not appreciate the narrator trying to give Britain the credit for computing nor the Internet. Sorry guy, but the Internet was created by the U.S. Government and it started out as Arpanet. Get over it! And sorry again, Robert Metcalfe invented most of the things your also trying to steal credit over, this got very old in the book.Good Story terrible Narrator.

It makes you want to crawl under a rock and hide... but that would be pointless. Nothing is hidden. Nothing is a secret.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. The book is well written and well researched. It brings historical perspective to some of the burgeoning issues in a world more and more enmeshed in technology.Any additional comments?
Well-researched and engaging history of spying (both governmental and corporate) and how it intersects with technology. Corera starts all the way back in WWI with the cutting of Germany's telegraph line and runs right through into the present, post-Snowden era. The book is expansive and in depth, managing to thoughtfully explain the counterbalancing of security concerns with privacy rights, and pointing out that the interconnectedness of things has only changed the thrust of spying from human sources to cyber ones. The books inclusion of corporate espionage and the ever more entangled relationship between various companies and their domestic governments (not to mention demands by foreign governments) rounds it out as more than just the typical spy versus spy history. Highly recommended.Excellent history of where technology meets spying
