"Brooke hasn't set out to write just another inside account of the Wikileaks saga: this is a melange of anecdote, imagination and experience designed to open our eyes to the possibility of digital change...feisty and vivid and honest..." Guardian "a lively journey around some of the characters and debates that regularly make headlines. [Brooke] is especially well placed to pierce the veil - as a fearlessly independent investigative journalist who won't take no for an answer, she has an ability to gain access to nooks and crannies that many do not even imagine to exist...Brooke has a burning commitment and an agenda but starry-eyed she is not...[the book's] contribution is significant, and readably so...We have been warned."
