Reminded me of the book "Eastern Standard Tribe" by Cory Doctorow.

The reviews and summary of the book sound very interesting. Thanks or mentioning this one! And.. it's a fairly recent one at that. A fine Canadian author, I should too!

I'm still working on:

Dial Up for Murder: The Hacker Chronicles Book 1 by Clem Chambers
331 pages Published November 17th 2014

I'm about 3rd of the way through. Too much promiscuous sex; totally unrealistic, imho. LOL I still haven't reached the part where the dark forces of cybercrime kick in.

Cory Doctorow has all of his books available for free from his site, craphound.com; he encourages people to translate them to their local languages,
export them to different ebook, pdf and text formats, and asks you to buy the book if you like it. Very neat.
