"Brooke has a serious agenda and she poses serious questions ... We have been warned." (Financial Times)

"A demanding, illuminating read." (Independent on Sunday)

"A robust examination of the race for control of information in our digital age." (Sunday Times Culture)

"She's a total ninja." (Ben Goldacre)

Reseña del editor:

There is more information in the world than ever before - but who's in control?

At the centre sits the Establishment: governments, corporations and powerful individuals who have more knowledge about us, and more power, than ever before. Circling them is a new generation of hackers, pro-democracy campaigners and internet activists who no longer accept that the Establishment should run the show.

Award-winning journalist and campaigner Heather Brooke takes us inside the Information War and explores the most urgent questions of the digital age: where is the balance between freedom and security? In an online world, does privacy still exist? And will the internet empower individuals, or usher in a new age of censorship, surveillance and oppression?
