First edition, first impression with full number line. DOUBLE SIGNED BY BOTH AUTHORS, IN BLACK BIRO, ON HALF TITLE PAGE. Some slight edge wear to top of jacket and spine, corners very slightly rubbed, faint fingerprint mark to page fore edges, not price clipped ($27.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 372pp. The internet in Russia is either the most efficient totalitarian tool or the device by which totalitarianism will be overthrown. Perhaps both. On the eighth floor of an ordinary looking building in an otherwise residential district of southwest Moscow, in a room occupied by the Federal Security Service (FSB), is a box the size of a VHS player marked SORM. The Russian government's front line in the battle for the future of the Internet SORM is the world's most intrusive listening device, monitoring emails, internet usage, Skype, and all social networks. But for every hacker subcontracted by the FSB to interfere with Russia's antagonists abroad, such as those who, in a massive denial of service attack, overwhelmed the entire internet in neighbouring Estonia, there is a radical or an opportunist who is using the web to chip away at the power of the state at home. Drawing from scores of interviews personally conducted with numerous prominent officials in the Ministry of Communications and web savvy activists challenging the state, Andrei Soldatov and Irina Borogan peel back the history of advanced surveillance systems in Russia. From research laboratories in Soviet era labour camps, to the legalization of government monitoring of all telephone and internet communications in the 1990s, to the present day, their incisive and alarming investigation into the Kremlin's massive online surveillance state exposes just how easily a free global exchange can be coerced into becoming a tool of repression and geopolitical warfare. Dissidents, oligarchs, and some of the world's most dangerous hackers collide in the uniquely Russian virtual world of 'The Red Web'. Very scarce signed.…
