Rall, Ted (text) &
Marc proves to be a charismatic protagonist, reminiscent of Breaking Bad’s Walter White, but he remains slightly underdeveloped. Rall’s (Political Suicide: The Fight for the Soul of the Democratic Party) real interest seems to be using international intrigue to deliver a pointed critique of how technological advancement has destroyed journalistic integrity.
