This starts as an interesting and thoughtful take of missing through hikers on the PCT. However, the author, despite expressing significant skepticism about a pseudoscientific douser, seems to uncritically endorse a psychic for the second half of the book. It makes me question her judgment and made the second half of the book much less enjoyable.

Kendra reviewed Dark Wire by Joseph Cox
Compelling but lacking anything critical
4 stars
Written like a thriller, Cox covers the rise and fall of Anom, an encrypted phone service run by the FBI.
I do wish that the book had engaged more with any of the actual legal and geopolitical consequences before the last chapter. I also wish that there was more clarity about where the various pieces of information came from, and how he reported on this - I never felt sure exactly what was coming from where.
