Microsoft is the “highly litigious Seattle-based software conglomerate”. Facebook is the “social network everyone hated” and Edward Snowden is “the NSA whistleblower who was back in media”. Deftly drawn characters are granted pseudonyms and companies are unnamed instead they are identified by cutting descriptions. Despite its unsavoury and troubling contents – unregulated surveillance technology, ruthless bosses, casual sexual harassment – the book is a delight. ![]()

The two looked like ghosts as they wove through the graveyard, both blond and fair enough to pass for siblings, or perhaps father and daughter. It made Sydney shiver in her too big coat and her rainbow leggings and her winter boots as she trudged along behind him. The sound carried like wind through the dark. ![]() His trench billowed faintly, brushing the tops of tombstones as he made his way through Merit Cemetery, humming as he went.
