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.

Great book

The book is great. But i wish if the audio editor removed the breathing between sentences.

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.

Awesome!

Awesome book! That goes well with many other spy books like: Cult of the Dead Cow By cover art
Cult of the Dead Cow or The Art of Invisibility

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.

cyber War

Gripping story. Well told and pleasant narration. Really enjoyed it though let me wonder what security I had left.

Just thank you

Just thank you for writing this book it brinks things in to interesting context. And I'm afraid soon the storm is coming...

Cyber and its impact

Interesting immersion into governments and the development of the unruly world of cyber attacks and how it is continuing to evolve. Further personalised by stories and impact it has on our lives.
