Breaking Code

By Rio Vale

The war has already begun. You just can't see it.

Right now, nation-states are quietly burrowing into power grids. Criminal syndicates are holding hospitals hostage. Intelligence agencies are mapping the hidden arteries of global infrastructure - waiting. And artificial intelligence has just given every one of them a weapon they've never had before.

Breaking Code is the definitive account of the invisible conflict reshaping modern civilization. Drawing on meticulously documented incidents from 2020 through 2026, this gripping work of narrative nonfiction takes you inside the Salt Typhoon telecom hack - called "the worst in our nation's history - by far" - the ransomware attack that paralyzed 94% of US hospitals overnight, and the chilling discovery of a near-perfect backdoor hidden inside the software running most of the world's servers.

But this book is more than a chronicle of catastrophe. It is a call to reckon with urgent choices that still remain - about AI, quantum computing, encryption, and the future of a civilization built on breakable code.

The battlefield is everywhere. The casualties are real. The time to understand this war is now.
