Description
In David Ignatius’s gripping new novel,
spies don’t bother to steal information . . .
they change it, permanently and invisibly.
Weber isn’t sure where to turn until he meets a charismatic
(and unstable) young man named James Morris
who runs the Internet Operations Center. He’s the CIA’s
in-house geek. Weber launches Morris on a mole hunt
unlike anything in spy fiction—one that takes the reader
into the hacker underground of Europe and America
and ends up in a landscape of paranoia and betrayal.
Like the new world of cyber-espionage from which it’s
drawn, The Director is a maze of deception and double-dealing—
about a world where everything is written in
zeroes and ones and nothing can be trusted.
