A captivating and meticulously researched work by Rutger Bregman, a renowned investigative journalist from the Netherlands, "Humankind: A Brief History of Tomorrow" delves into the intricate web of spies, criminals, and secret operations that operate in the shadows of the digital world. This essential read uncovers a hidden war fought by these shadowy figures, impacting every aspect of our lives. Eliot Higgins, the bestselling author of "We Are Bellingcat," praises the book as "essential," highlighting the revelations it unveils. In the summer of 2017, a mysterious phenomenon strikes the world, causing computer screens to go blank in 150 countries. The impact is profound, with the NHS severely affected, leading to hospitals being unable to accommodate patients for emergency care. Ambulances are grounded, and computer screens suddenly turn on, displaying eerie warnings. Desperate employees attempt to unplug the computers, but it's already too late. The machines are locked, and the attackers demand ransom. This is a case of hijack software, a stark illustration of the vulnerability of the digital realm.
Award-winning Dutch journalist Huib Modderkolk takes the reader on a thrilling journey through the corridors and backdoors of the globalized digital world. Drawing upon his extensive investigation spanning six years, Modderkolk reconstructs British-American espionage operations and sheds light on the intricate power dynamics that enable intelligence services to share and withhold data among nations. The book features key players such as Edward Snowden, Russian hackers Cozy Bear and Evgeniy Bogachev, known as the "Pablo Escobar of the digital era," who expose the dark underbelly of the digital world with the narrative drive of a thriller.
Through his meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Bregman and Modderkolk offer a sobering glimpse into the world we inhabit, where the line between reality and illusion blurs, and the actions of a few can have far-reaching consequences for the entire world. "Humankind: A Brief History of Tomorrow" is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of the digital age and the ongoing battle between spies, criminals, and governments in the shadows.
