This book has opened my eyes to dangers that exist in computers. I could be very careful in protecting my personal information in the computer, but we do businesses with companies who use computers to track their customers. Phate, the killer, had the technology and the brains to find ways to enter people's personal space. I perceive him as person who treats people as pieces in a chess game. He kills people without remorse.
He lost his ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Gillette and Phate were neglected by their parents. Computers become their companion. Computers connect them to the outside world. Phate emotionally detaches from the world. Phate's family provided only material things. Phate makes his own rules.
At the beginning Gillette grew up with some family values. Before his father left he took him to the store to choose one thing to buy. Gillette chooses a computer. The computer introduces him to "Blue Nowhere".
He copes with desertion by envolving himself into the computer.
Lack of ethics and guidelines make hackers become their own boss.
The characters consider themselves God. They have access to almost every company and individuals.These people have no consequences because they hide behind computers. Phate could read his victims' email and monitor their activities. This is scary how a person can evade your privacy and there's no law against it. In the book Phate monitors Jaime's computer at the school academy. He even helps him to find the security password to exit the academy.
I have become more cautious with my computer. The book gives information on how to tell if someone is monitoring your computer.
