Cyberama by Arthi Vasudevan, Illustrated by Jasmin Davis

An addictive VR video game leads to surprising and challenging lessons about internet safety in Cyberama by Arthi Vasudevan, a clever children’s book laced with critical wisdom. Maya is a curious gamer with cyber-savvy parents working on a secret government project, but when bad actors attack via cyberspace, it will take fresh knowledge and clever defenses to save the day as the situation spirals out of control. Supported by AI-infused cyber pals that try to keep Maya safe as she ventures through the online world, this story of self-discovery, safety, and cybersecurity is equally entertaining and educational. Breaking down complex ideas of passwords, firewalls, phishing, pharming, hacking, and more, this important information is accessibly presented, the prose is neatly edited, and the superbly crafted illustrations vividly bring this cautionary tale to life.
