Hi All,
Thank you for the great response to my last email - I have another opportunity to feature in GameSpot show Reality Check which might interest some of you.
To tie in with the launch of upcoming video game Watch_Dogs from developer Ubisoft, I'm looking to speak to someone who can discuss on camera the cutting edge of surveillance, security and hacking technology.
The game is set in a fictionalised version of Chicago where the player can use their in-game smartphone to hack into both the city's infrastructure and its inhabitants personal data. Im looking for someone to help me explore the reality of this scenario. Check out this preview for more information.
If you are interested, or know anyone who might be, please get in touch with me on [log in to unmask]
Regards,
