Not far from reality and current development of state control

5 stars

The most scary thing is the fact we already live in a society that uses terrorism and other boogeymen to tighten the control of communication and movement of the citizens.

IT security is well explained. Even if this book is for youth, I realized I didn't fully understand some security concepts (public-private key) until now.
