About the book: 2017 / Before you is an amazing, and even unique collection of its kind. The fact is that Positive Technologies, a company specializing in cyber defense systems, annually holds the Positive Hack Days conference in Moscow. Thousands of computer geniuses from all over Russia compete... in high-speed hacking of ATMs and mobile phones, models of security systems for nuclear power plants and military networks. Paradox? Not at all. To protect something, you must first understand how to hack it. Where is cyberpunk in that? And here it is: a short story competition is being held for the conference. The finalists are judged by the founding father of the genre, Bruce Sterling, and the winners are announced from the stage by the cult program “Model to Build”. And here is a collection based on the results of two years of competition. Read and see that virtual tomorrow comes today!
