Tapestry’s privacy and security is so effective that it impedes the government’s ability to monitor routine communications. Fearing Tapestry will spread to encompass the whole of the Internet, threatening America’s surveillance abilities around the globe, the government swoops in to stop Angie and company -- by any means possible.
Under the constant threat of exposure -- of Angie’s criminal past, of Igloo’s secret life in the underground kink scene, and of their actions to subvert a FISA court order -- they must hatch a plan to ensure the success of Tapestry no matter what pressures the government brings to bear.
Not knowing whom to trust, or if they can even trust each other, Igloo and Angie must risk everything in the ultimate battle for control of the Internet.
"A unique and complex technothriller -- a high-tech showdown with your privacy and personal freedom hanging in the balance." -- Brad Feld, managing director of Foundry Group
"The most important book you'll read this year about privacy, data ownership, and personal freedom." -- Timo Kissel
The descriptions of BDSM and homosexual relationships in this novel may challenge some readers, but the underlying messages about the connections between personal freedom, liberty, privacy, social media, and our modern surveillance are absolutely essential and timely. -- William Hertling, author of Kill Switch
