Alessio L.R. Pennasilico · Lele Rozza
Stories of hackers, government agencies and surveillance systems. Published a few days before the world first heard of PRISM.
Where to find itThe book
A system able to monitor the web and phone calls, and to grind through huge amounts of data. Government agencies and hackers, more or less benevolent, fighting over confidential information and access keys. Caught in the middle: Mayhem and Gizmo, who designed that system.
Destini Hacker is a collection of short stories with a simple thesis: security vulnerabilities are not just a technical problem. They depend on people's awareness and behaviour, in the public and private sector alike.
Attack to the System is the first volume. It came out in June 2013, a few days before the PRISM scandal made the story far less science fiction.
