This is a terrifying and at times realistically disorienting (which is a good thing in fiction, not so much in real life) narrative of having a secret life as a computer hacker. It explores the myriad ways everything can go wrong. The greatest thrill in thrillers is not a single decision that dooms the characters we identify with, but a lifetime of decisions leading one to the apparent end of a rainbow which turns out to be down a rabbit hole — a phenomenon mirrored all too often by the true events of the times, events with which we don't want to scare our children but we do anyway. Tom Chatfield's “This is Gomorrah” illustrates one such lifetime. Especially in the 21st century and beyond, with technological advancements and challenges, we must be careful who we become when nobody seems to be watching, because our secrets define our destiny.
