A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff -- and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.The event is free. If you want to reserve a seat, you can call the store (863-8688) to buy a copy of Homeland. Otherwise, there will be tons of standing room. And of course, Cory will stick around and sign books afterwards. See you there!
