In the heart of a sprawling, gray city where the internet was governed by a single, unyielding authority, a high school student named Mira found herself staring at a blank screen. The message was always the same: unblock proxy

She read the words of activists who had used similar methods—string and tin-can networks, dead-drop Wi-Fi hotspots, encrypted USB dead drops in public parks. They weren't criminals.
