Firmware: Hijacked
In the City, a thriving metropolis encompassing a third of a billion souls, a man can change his world as easily as crossing the street.
It is a place of a million cultures, the world in microcosm.
For some it is their last hope for survival. For others it is their playground.
And for others it is their hunting ground.
Isaac Sarason is a talented hacker. A Doctor of Applied Network Theory, trusted employee of British Telecom-Sprint, he lives in a world which ninety percent of his fellow citizens can only imagine, and he has a problem.
His health is failing, his job is on the line, his world is crumbling around him.
He wants out, and the street is his only escape.
What happens when the life you dreamt of is killing you?
What do you do when you find yourself Hijacked?

Stats: Statistics are produced by Libsyn to help Firmware: Hijacked to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Libsyn is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.
Dynamic content insertion: Libsyn may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Firmware: Hijacked may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
Firmware: Hijacked is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
