“Watt settled in, finding his rhythm, his fingers flying across the touch screen as he manipulated pieces of invisible information, like pulling on the strings of a massive, intricate net. He and Nadia worked well together. Even as he made his way slowly and methodically through the hack, Watt could feel her there, a ghostly presence, like the light of a candle flickering just at the edge of his vision. He lost all sense of time and place, his entire being reduced to the string of numerics on the screen before him, waiting for the flash of intuition that would enable him to see a pattern, a blind spot, anything at all.”
― Katharine McGee, The Thousandth Floor

“In heist movies, there's always a montage of scenes where the caper crew rehearses for the big day. The greaser person practices maneuvering through a mock laser beam field made up of string. The driver races through obstacle courses, back alleys, and dark city streets. The hacker pounds on her keyboard, staring at screens full of code. The gadget person demonstrates all their clever toys. The key master practices opening a safe. The muscle finds a few security guards to knock unconscious and wrestles guard dogs to the ground. The inside person seduces or befriends the target and gets them to spill their secrets. And the leader organizes it all with the help of her second-in-command.
At least, that's the way it works in the movies. In real life, with a bunch of newbs who are scraping by with low-paying jobs, inflexible hours, difficult bosses, and a bunch of side gigs to make ends meet, just organizing a rehearsal heist was one hell of a task.”
― Sara Desai, To Have and to Heist

“Da li si se ikada zapitao ko može više da sazna – čovek ili kompjuter? Zavodljiva je ta dilema. Ono što treba da znaš jeste da i čovek i kompjuter sve što saznaju mogu da potisnu i zaborave, smeštanjem u zabačeni folder stvarnosti, ali nikada, nikada... Da obrišu. I čovek i kompjuter su skladišta, sa dosta prozora koji ti mogu omogućiti da zaviriš u njih, ne i da uđeš unutra. Tamo možeš ući samo ako dobro poznaješ teren – čoveka ili kompjuter. Ako poželiš da ih upoznaš, dodirni ih tamo gde ih boli. Nema čoveka niti sistema bez slabosti ili greške. Zbog grešaka u sistemu može stradati računar, zbog grešaka u čoveku najčešće strada drugi čovek. Sistem ima nas hakere koji pronalazimo i otklanjamo kvar, uz adekvatnu zaštitu da do kvara ponovo ne dođe. Čovek sa kvarom, čovek sa greškom... Nema nikoga osim nade da nepravda čuva tajne i straha da će tajna biti otkrivena.”
― Tamara Kučan, Profajler

“Chloe talked Clare through the information she needed to hack into the system and guided her screen by screen. Her fingers flew over the keyboard and her laptop screen lit up with lines of white code.
"I'm in," Chloe said after five stressful minutes. "It wasn't that secure at all."
"I'm looking at the screen, but I don't see anything," Clare said over the video chat. "Where are the files?"
"I didn't give you access. I gave me access." Chloe shot me a sly grin. "You and Vito can meet us here and Simi can share what we find."
Clare's lips pressed into a thin line. "I didn't think subterfuge was your style."
"You never made an effort to get to know me," Chloe said. "Never trust a hacker."
"My mom is the bomb." Olivia pumped her fist. "I'm going to be a hacker just like her."
"You can be a white-hat hacker and help people," Chloe replied. "If I ever catch you doing black-hat hacking like this, I'll take your phone away forever.”
― Sara Desai, 'Til Heist Do Us Part
