Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Derek Perkins delivers a powerhouse performance in ‘Active Measures’, bringing Thomas Rid's intricate narrative to life with his clear, authoritative voice. His ability to modulate tone enhances the dramatic tension of pivotal moments, making even the most complex cybersecurity debates feel urgent. The pacing is expertly managed, maintaining high interest throughout the 14 hours and 45 minutes. However, some sections might benefit from a bit more contextual background, which could have smoothed over certain technical jargon-heavy areas. Nevertheless, this audiobook stands as an essential listen for anyone curious about the evolution of online deception tactics.
