Bandwidth captures the two dominant threads of the first decade of the 21st century - greed and terrorism.
Several years after the dot com funeral pyre, Hayden Campbell - a former CIA operative turned speechwriter - finds himself working for the sixth richest man in the world, Aaron Cannondale. From his perch, Hayden watches as a Dutch student discovers a technology to send voice, video and data through Europe's municipal water systems.
