Review

 
Great book - I'm a big fan of conspiracy theories, but this one is actually a believably realistic plot. It is sometimes annoying how the main character, Marcus, reacts to some situations, but he IS a teenager, so all the more realistic. This book also got me interested in installing Linux and learning a basic level of Python. I particularly liked the in-depth explanations of all the assorted geekery.
