I'd like to thank my editor, Gabe Robinson (previously at Harper Collins in NYC but now freelancing) for his incredible help in getting CyberStorm assembled and edited. I'd also like to thank my small army of dozens of beta readers who combed through the early manuscripts--this is as much my novel as all of theirs, and a testament to the power of the internet in shaping new media. I have a full list of everyone who helped me contained in the novel itself. Finally, I'd like to thank all of the members of the cybersecurity community who lent me their time and insight into making this as realistic a scenario as possible of what a full-scale cyber event could like. I have named several key individuals at the start of the book. Thank you everyone, and hope you enjoy the read!</div> HarperWeekend B00BT4QRHG B00F2I63DI 9781443432276 DWOzAAAAQBAJ eng Fiction General nomad action adventure artificial intelligence conspiracy thriller disaster AI atopia cyber pearl harbor digital post-apocalyptic cyberstorm
