His is a world without mysteries, only unexplored spaces. This is a look inside a mind without peer.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e—Edward Snowden\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “A tour-de-force that combines the many genius careers of one of the world’s great hacker-communicators: practical, theoretical, philosophical and often mind-blowing.
