Ashley Madison, Edward Snowden, Home Depot, government breaches, Sony and North Korea…today’s headlines prove that our confidence in the security of the Internet is seriously misguided. Starting Tuesday morning, David Boyko and his STANCO colleagues will discover the consequences of arrogance when their systems are hacked, exposing the personal information of more than a billion people and government secrets for all the world to see. As David and his colleagues desperately race to control the damage while trying to figure out who is behind the heist, he realizes the role he has played in bringing the world to its knees. What will it take to clean up the digital world with so many stakeholders swayed by power, corruption and greed? Sparring with the highest levels of global government and corporate powers, David finds the solution much lower down the corporate food chain—but can one man turn the tide? When he's also embarked on an unanticipated journey of personal revelation? Written as fiction, the story's event and consequences are all too real. Grayson takes the reader into the world behind the headlines, behind the marketing, and behind the positioning to see how fragile these technologies are making our day-to-day lives even as they let us do thousands of wondrous things. Within the frantic run that the story's characters are obliged to make, we are presented with obvious evidence that our we and our relationships to the world around us—including everyone around us—are breaking from thousands of years of stable progress. With the characters of the story we consider what our identity in the ether and out, and the nature of privacy in the 21st-century. At the end we are left to wonder: is Exodus a story or forecast?
