<b>"A strikingly relevant and compelling suspense novel. With the pace of a thriller and the heart of a drama, Harrison exposes the unseen battles fought in the digital trenches of today's information war." ―Taylor Lorenz, Technology Columnist, <i>The Washington Post</i></b> <p/><br><b>Aim for Neutrality. We Need Better Sources. Anonymity is Fundamental. Keep Developing.</b> <p/>The editors know these principles. The editors follow them--or subvert them--every day. The editors aren't recognized on the street, but they craft the information that is seen on nearly every internet search. Through Infopendium, the ubiquitous, crowd-sourced internet encyclopedia, the editors influence the world. <p/><br>Freelance journalist Morgan Wentworth, recently laid off from <i>PopFeed News</i>, attends the Global Infopendium Conference in New York expecting a straightforward story to help pay the rent. But the so-called "'pendium people" are full of surprises. PhDs rub shoulders with high school students, all quoting the project's rules and regulations like a second language. Sure, millions of people see the facts curated by these editors, but who really cares about the free encyclopedia? <p/><br>When a hacker attacks the conference and posts a cryptic message, it becomes clear that <i>somebody</i> does. And Morgan decides to find out who. But the path through an online information war is far from clear. Foreign governments, billionaires, and a global virus threaten to sway the truth
