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.

Excellent book. Highly recommended.
The book is excellent, but there are problems with the audio. The final chapter repeats 2x. The narrator has to learn how to pronounce key words like Kyiv. But those audio issues aside. This is a must read/listen.

Zero-year exploits
An incredibly thorough, brave and meaningful research on the little-known world of InfoSec warfare. Nicole Perlroth doing the lord's work here, in a really comprehensive text that reads almost like an adventure.
Very grateful that there are people like her out there, doing this kind of investigative reporting, and the rest of us have the privilege of reading/listening to.

Insightful for our digital age
A great read for our times. A few words with strange pronunciations, but so few as to not detract from the book.

Phenomenal book on cyberwarfare
Truly a page turner on a very complicated topic. Outstanding writing and narration.
This is one of those books whereafter you think: how on earth is nobody talking about this (cyberwarfare)?

Page turner but loses steam
This is a page turner. well written and engaging. excellent narrative around the history of cyber warfare. It loses track by the end and delves into the same hackneyed complains about the Russians and Trump.
On the negative side, was the narrator's lack of general knowledge. She thinks the capital of Ukraine is called "Kreev", China is coverned by "community party" and that famous German magazine is called "spiega" , to name a few. Even my 10 year old son would be able to to correct her.

Great book, a must read for any who is in Cyber
I loved it and she explains really well how cybersecurity issues can now change the way our real world works or should work, from cyber warfare to espionage and terrorism.
it shows how the underbelly of cyber works and some things that the ones that are on cyber have sometimes difficulties explaining in plain English to the rest.
Love the book and anyone should read it so you will understand and start to protect your accounts.
