An intriguing foray into government corruption by manipulating public opinion with misinformation. Sound familiar? Brunner wrote this book in 1975 and I can't believe how many things he got right - internet (called Data Net), phones as computer terminals, information overload, bribes and kickbacks hidden by executive privilege, etc.
The protagonists are likable, but not infalable and the plot moves along at exciting pace to a satifying conclusion.
The only reason I didn't rate this book higher was due to the sometimes confusing futuristic jargon Brunner used in sections of the book.
