Breakpoint

Wow! If I had not signed up for GSLIS 700 - The Technology of Information - I would be lost in this book. All of the concepts we have been learning about computers and the Internet are in here.

Taking place in 2012, Breakpoint is about computer evolution and how it affects human evolution. Where is the line between correcting mistakes or defects and creating a new form of human? The software creators in the US, England, and Japan were about to find out. Until someone took out the Internet cables connecting North America to the rest of the world.

This book is written by someone who knows his stuff. Richard A. Clarke has been in the federal government in one capacity or another since 1973, most recently as the Special Adviser to the President for Cyberspce Security. He know the insider info to write a good government / espionage story and a computer / Internet based tale.
