Digital Darling: An American Story - Paperback

by Rick Roberts (Author)

When President Alexander North bans air travel to help control a deadly virus, the nation's tourism industry goes into a tailspin. Digital Darling, the tantalizing hostess of an underground travel show, becomes a persistent critic of the president's policies and an Internet sensation. North instructs the National Security Agency to get her off the air, but the task falls to a ruthless agent and the Feds look the other way as the body count rises. Through a long, hot New England summer, Digital Darling, her lover, and their hacker sidekick risk everything to wage a dangerous war of perceptions against the government. A war that has everyone asking, who is the real patriot here?
