Okay so my friend read a book in jail that he doesn't remember the name of and I'm hoping /lit/ can help me find it. Here are all the details I have. The plot points are very rough and seem to change every time he tells me about it. He said he read it in two days and that it's a "bomb ass book".
-It's about 400 pages
-It's about a guy who hacks into some federal (CIA/FBI) computer and launches nukes all over the fucking place. America, Canada, overseas, etc.
-There might be multiple characters in the book that launch nukes. According to my friend either the main character or one of the character that launches nukes gets ratted out by someone, and they kill the informant by putting them head first into a woodchipper.
-The book's ending scene is basically a free-for-all with various terrorist groups, US troops, mercenaries, civilian terrorists, with "mad nukes dropping everywhere, shotties getting pulled out, heads getting blown off".
-I was walking to get some Bob Hope with my friend and he had smoked 10 grams prior, and he said "HE KILLED HIM WITH HIS OWN GUN!" in reference to the book. I thought he meant that the main character/character that launched a nuke and got ratted out took the informant's own gun from them and killed him with it but he denied it, although to be fair he wasn't really focused on the conversation.

could it be my diary desu?
Okay the above replies made me chuckle but I really want to read it. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction as far as finding it is concerned?
You made the classic mistake by assuming that /lit/ reads books.

This could be any number of pulp fiction spy books. Who would even know?
>>8443986
Why would you actually want to read that?
I don't think that anyone here will be able to help you with this one.
At first I thought that it might have been that one Dan Brown book about cryptography, but then it got way too crazy for even that memer.
