Zahra's Paradise

"Set in the aftermath of Iran's fraudulent elections of 2009, Zahra's Paradise is the fictional story of the search for Mehdi, a young protestor who has vanished into an extrajudicial twilight zone. What's keeping his memory from being obliterated is not the law. It is the grit and guts of his mother, who refuses to surrender her son to fate, and the tenacity of his brother, a blogger, who fuses tradition and technology to explore and explode the void in which Mehdi has vanished"-- Publisher's web site.

Chatterjee Pratap

L’Undici settembre non segna solo il più tremendo attacco interno nella storia degli Stati Uniti, ma scatena anche la sorveglianza elettronica di massa su scala mondiale da parte del governo statunitense. Pratap Chatterjee ci svela come il governo segue movimenti e interazioni di individui e di paesi, come localizza le persone, come installa software che permettono di ascoltare le telefonate o analizzare le mail, ci mostra piani militari tesi a guidare da remoto droni in missioni letali. Ci racconta della complicità di corporation come Apple, Verizon e Google, e del coraggio dei giornalisti e delle persone che decidono di rivelare ciò che non dobbiamo sapere, da Edward Snowden a Julian Assange. Infine, ci dà una prognosi sul futuro della sorveglianza elettronica. Un fumetto che condensa eventi e temi cruciali di questi primi decenni del Ventunesimo secolo, in una storia compatta e avvincente.

Come ti controllo con il drone

From a prize-winning journalist and the co-author of the best-selling Zahra's Paradise, a sweeping graphic history of electronic surveillance from 9/11 to the latest drone strike 9/11 not only marked the worst domestic terror attack in U.S. history, but also unleashed electronic spying by the government on a massive worldwide scale. In a wholly original and engaging telling, Verax ("truth-teller" and one of Edward Snowden's code names) recounts the full story of American electronic surveillance post 9/11, in brilliant comics form. We follow Pratap Chatterjee, journalist sleuth, as he dives deep into the world of electronic surveillance and introduces its cast of characters: developers, companies, users, government agencies, whistleblowers, journalists, and, in a leading role, the devices themselves. He explains the complex ways governments follow the movements and interactions of individuals and countries, whether by tracking the players of Angry Birds, deploying "Stingrays" that listen in on phone calls or "deep packet inspection" that mines email, or by weaponizing programs with names like Howlermonkey and Godsurge to attack the infrastructure of states such as Iran and remotely guide the U.S. missiles used in drone killings. He chronicles the complicity of corporations like Apple, Verizon, and Google, and the daring of the journalists and whistleblowers—from Snowden to Julian Assange to the lesser-known NSA Four—who made sure that the world would know. Finally, he gives a prognosis for the future of electronic surveillance, and for the fortunes of those who resist it. By condensing a crucial event of the 21st century and a broad, complex history into a compact, engaging, and vivid work, Verax is a significant contribution that is certain to last.
