Summary

** "Terminal Compromise" by Winn Schwartau is a thrilling story set in the early 1990s that looks closely at computer security and cyber-terrorism. It tells the story of Taki Homosoto, a survivor seeking payback for the destruction of Hiroshima, Miles Foster, a bright math expert from the NSA who is not happy with his job, and Scott Mason, a reporter trying to figure out what is going on. The book seems to consider the ideas of personal revenge, huge cyber attacks, and what they could mean for America's safety. Taki Homosoto has a strong dislike for America, and Miles Foster is frustrated with his work, leading him to make choices that could hurt his country, and as Scott Mason investigates, he finds scary connections between these events and the danger of cyber warfare. **
