The Execution Channel - Ken MacLeod
Cold war, with cable tv psychology and superscience.
What seems at first to be mostly a near future spy novel, shows it has a different focus, by looking at the uses common mobile phone technology and the internet via blogs and forums can be put to by spooks and those in the disinformation business.
The story centres on a family caught up in this, one spy, one activist, one soldier.
Definitely interesting in a future with tensions rising between superpowers, and killer diseases operating.
What appears to be a new type of weapon has been used in the UK, and this causes everything to change.
As the main non-spook blogger mentioned in the book describes it, a "WTF" type of moment.
