The untold story of the cyberweapons arms race: win a set of copies / This Is How They Tell Me The World Ends by Nicole Perlroth

For Adults

Does your reading group love non-fiction? Are you interested in technology, politics, and the way they intersect? We’re offering one lucky book group a set of ten proof copies of THIS IS HOW THEY TELL ME THE WORLD ENDS by the New York Times cybersecurity reporter, Nicole Perlroth.

This book tells the untold story of the cyberweapons market – the most secretive, invisible, government-sponsored market on earth – and offers a terrifying first look at a new kind of global warfare. It reads like a spy thriller, but every word is true: an intrepid journalist unravels an opaque, code-driven market from the outside in – encountering spies, hackers, arms dealers, mercenaries and a few unsung heroes along the way. As the stakes get higher and higher in the rush to push the world’s critical infrastructure online, This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends is the urgent and alarming discovery of one of the world’s most extreme threats.

If you think your reading group would enjoy this book, please email ella.harold@bloomsbury.com by February 18th.
