Synopsis

A rising star at a preeminent political lobbying firm, Dag Calhoun represents the world’s most powerful technology and energy executives. But when a close brush with death reveals that the influence he wields makes him a target, impossible cracks appear in his perfect, richly appointed life.Like everyone else, Dag relies on his digital feed for everything—a feed that is as personal as it is pervasive, and may not be as private as it seems. As he struggles to make sense of the dark forces closing in on him, he discovers that activists are hijacking the feed to manipulate markets and governments. Going public would destroy everything he’s worked so hard to build, but it’s not just Dag’s life on the line—a shadow war is coming, one that will secure humanity’s future or doom the planet to climate catastrophe. Ultimately, Dag must decide the price he’s willing to pay to change the world.

Goodreads review by Paul on January 21, 2018

Right off the bat, author Eliot Peper thrust me into a life-and-death situation. Barely had time to get my feet on the ground and already I'd narrowly dodged a hail of bullets. Gave me insight for what lie down the road. Intense action to get this well-written narrative rolling. Heart thumping, my k......more

Goodreads review by Brad on May 05, 2018

Spectacular. I've been a friend and avid reader of Eliot's books since the first draft of his first book in the Uncommon Series. It's been a delight to follow his writing career. With Bandwidth, he's at a new level. My favorite genre is what I like to call "near-term sci-fi" - tech that is within five......more

Goodreads review by We Are All Mad Here on April 15, 2018

Because it's only fair to say why I didn't like a book - it was this kind of sentence that did it: "But it was also the first ray of light entering a boarded-up house in a condemned neighborhood as a hopeful squatter adjusted his sweaty grip on a crowbar and pried the plywood from a broken window."......more

Goodreads review by Lucas on April 01, 2018

If the privacy atrocities of Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scare you, but this near-term sci-fi thriller may read to you more as a horror than a thriller.
