Details: There is more information in the world than ever before, but who is in control? At the centre is the Establishment: governments, corporations & powerful individuals who have more knowledge about us, & more power, than at any other time in history. Circling them is a new generation of hackers, pro-democracy campaigners & internet activists who no longer accept that the Establishment should run the show. In her gripping, revelatory new book, award-winning journalist & campaigner Heather Brooke takes us inside the Information War, from the hackerspaces of Boston & Berlin to the UK's journalism hub & Iceland's free speech revolution; from the headquarters of Google & Facebook to the murky world of Julian Assange & Wikileaks. Along the way Brooke explores the most urgent questions of the digital age: where is the balance between freedom & security? In an online world, does privacy still exist? & will the internet empower individuals, or usher in a new age of censorship, surveillance & oppression? Read by the author.
