We plug in anything we can to the internet. We can control our entire lives, economy and grid via a remote web control. But over the past decade, as this transformation took place, we never paused to think that we were also creating the world’s largest attack surface. And that the same nation that maintains the greatest cyber advantage on earth could also be among its most vulnerable.
Filled with spies, hackers, arms dealers and a few unsung heroes, This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends is an astonishing and gripping feat of journalism. Drawing on years of reporting and hundreds of interviews, Nicole Perlroth lifts the curtain on a market in shadow, revealing the urgent threat faced by us all if we cannot bring the global cyber arms race to heel.

Most informative and interesting book in years
A truly excellent book which cuts through the complexity of this domain. A separate review made me laugh where the person also really enjoyed the book until the facts weren't convenient with their political alignment.

This is a wake up call.
I loved this book and found myself calling people to tell them to listen to or read it. First I called the people I know in information security. Then I realised this book is for everyone. I have a short list of books that I rate as making me smarter in this world. This book will now be one of them.

Great book. but I don't think the narrator????
this is a great book. I loved it and found it compelling. but the Narrator clearly dosn't watch the news, she miss pronounced words that if she had it would have been obvious. the Ukraine capital city for instance dosn't have an R in it and she repeatedly pronounced Keiv as Kreiv??? go figure.

Fascinating and frightening
A compelling picture of a world that most people have no idea about. This book casts light on the shadowy world of cyber spying and cyber crime; in a way that should make us all take heed. Unfortunately let down by a disappointing production with far too many mispronunciations and words that I cannot believe were in the written text.

Great book! Narrator was a bit frustrating.
This was an incredible read and also listen! I found this book to be so informative and interesting on many levels.
Unfortunately, the narrating of TIHTTMTWE was only 'ok'. The main frustration I had was the mispronunciation of Ukraine's capital Kyiv. I am unsure why but Allyson Ryan always pronounced it as "Kreeve". Some may see this as minor but when this is constantly spoken of, it tends to get annoying. I found myself saying it correctly in my head whenever I heard the incorrect pronunciation.
Other than that, Nicole Perlroth's 10 years of research is beyond intriguing, mind boggling and at times terrifying (of the amount of "invisible" information, cyber wars and trades unknown to the general public). Loved it!

Unfortunate mispronouncing
I'd continue listening if not for the narrator getting basic Ukrainian words and place names incorrect. Of course it's not going to be perfect but she is pronouncing 'Kyiv' as 'Kriv' and it's off putting and disrupting the flow of the narration. Surely it is as simple as googling the pronunciation of these words.
