A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE MONTH: [Exposes] the dark underbelly of social media giants' societal control via the manipulation of data. Elsberg is nothing if not prescient. (Barry Forshaw)

Captivating Read that will have you question Digital Age

Grittily realistic read. Exciting thrill ride behind the proverbial lens of social media, technology, and the cost of privacy.
