2000s: Trapped in a foreign land with a hard drive containing information that puts your life in jeopardy?
Intrusion
What you need to know before your trail
A powerful client summons lawyer Chris Bruen for a midnight meeting. Something is very wrong. Zapper, the world’s most popular search engine, has been compromised and its most valuable asset—search algorithms—stolen. The company suspects that this most recent instance in a wave of high-tech crimes originated in China, and that the government itself is behind the systematic theft of US intellectual property.
Chris travels to China to search for evidence that will link the intrusion to the People’s Liberation Army. With remote assistance from Zoey Doucet, the head of his firm’s computer forensics lab, Chris uncovers information that takes him even deeper into the shadowy world of cybercrime. Now he is trapped in a foreign land with a hard drive containing information that puts his life in jeopardy.
Locations
ResetTravel Guide
San Francisco
If you are going to write or indeed read a novel about cybercrime, you have to read one set in San Francisco. The area where the majority of companies are located is called Silicon Valley just outside San Francisco.
Google, Yahoo, Apple, Facebook etc…all the internet giants are here.
Shanghai
Crowded, polluted, dirty and distracting Shanghai, smog-choked Beijing and a country shrouded by mystery and the secrets behind the Great Wall and the walls of internet access around it.
China is notoriously secretive when it comes to internet access and internet power so the possibility of finding answers here is nigh on impossible.
