The Story

Consider this before you log on . . .
Is Ozzzz.com–brainchild of techno-mogul Sam Thorne–simply an innocuous children’s educational website, or is there another agenda lurking behind the cyberspace curtain?

The Lizard of Ozzzz.com book cover Ask Caitlin Leary. Fresh out of MIT, Caitlin embarks on her new career at Ozzzz.com as Director of Technology where she unintentionally becomes embroiled in a plot that threatens the digital privacy of the website’s young devotees. In this satiric tale of Silicon Valley, author Mary Karlton portrays the play of colliding egos, rampant greed and unabashed power politics during the heyday of the dotcom boom. Underlying the cutting humor is an examination of the profound issues around our vulnerability to electronic surveillance in the digital age.
