I feel a little dumb. I am an intelligent person but this book seemed a little above my head for me. Although, I will comment by saying that this is a good techno thriller. So fans of these types of books will enjoy this book. Yet, this book may not be for everyone. It may miss the mark for some readers who like me it will be above their heads.

Despite my lack on the subject matter, I did like the fast pace of this story. Plus, the story did seem believable. Although, another thing that did take away from the story was that I never fully was invested in the characters. So, all I was let was the story.

Factor Man by Matt Ginsberg
Enjoyed this book because of all the up to date knowledge of technology.
Wondreed what 256 bit encryption was all about as we choose new passwords and some are lower bits then others. Lots of math and science and an all around good read.
Mix that controversy with the Chinese government-retaliaiton for what they think is a US citizen shutting down their internet for 11 seconds and you have a story.
So much travel as FBI agent and newspaper reporter is on the trail to linking clues and to who comitted murder. Love all the hints and clues and especially the encyption used.
Well thought out in the present and future days. Learned so much about net private conversations and which agency is allowed to ask for what in solving crimes. Alternating chapters so you hear the story from multiple views.
Can really see something like this happening in our lifetime.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.… (más)
