Award-winning journalist and campaigner Heather Brooke takes us inside the Information War; from the hackerspaces of Boston and Berlin to the UK’s journalism hub and Iceland’s free speech revolution; from the headquarters of Google and Facebook to the murky world of Julian Assange and Wikileaks. Along the way Brooke explores the most urgent questions of the digital age: Where is the balance between freedom and security? And will the internet empower individuals, or usher in a new age of censorship, surveillance and oppression?
