Russia -- our ugly, upside down, topsy turvy mirror. Take warning. This feels so timely, even though this edition had to be updated after the election. My tax return was held up by the government because my identity had potentially been hacked after the City of Atlanta was held hostage by ransomware. That wanted 50,000$ in Bitcoin. Still not sure if they paid or not, but just a forever reminder that I live behind weak walls and my nations enemies are slower to get there, but faster and crueler in their reaction. I'm not a psychic but I feel stirrings of the future. Do you know how to speak Russian? Can you build radios? I might learn. ( )

Отдельные этапы введения цензуры и слежки в Рунете в основном пользователям известны и с той или иной степенью вялости опротестованы в Facebook или ЖЖ. Однако в этой книге, опубликованной на Западе еще в прошлом году, звенья цепи выстраиваются кольцами боа констриктора. Становится видно, как за всеми резонансными, но, казалось бы, разрозненными событиями последних лет — «арабской весной», прилетом Сноудена в Россию, Майданом, Олимпиадой в Сочи — следовала стремительная реакция, итогом которой стали неслыханные возможности для цензуры и вторжения силовиков в частную жизнь. Поводы для оптимизма авторы все-таки находят: США и Европа не допустили лоббируемого Россией распила интернета на «суверенные национальные сегменты», а контролировать всех интернет-пользователей невозможно: именно солдаты своими селфи во «ВКонтакте» сделали куда больше для разоблачения кремлевской лжи о войне, чем журналисты и активисты.

It's time for the sequel. I'd like to know if the authors changed their mind over functionality of the whole system they describe in the book. ( )
