Here & Now's Scott Tong describes ransomware as "a high-tech version of kidnapping." It's when a computer or tech system is hacked and money is demanded in order to get it back. In their new book, The Ransomware Hunting Team, ProPublica journalists Renee Dudley and Daniel Golden chronicle how ransomware has grown from individual attacks to large-scale operations against major corporations, universities and hospitals. But as they vividly explain to Tong, there's also a band of coding vigilantes who are helping ransomware victims regain access ... without paying up.

John J. Miller is joined by Anna Reid to discuss her book, 'Borderland.'

17th-century Europe was witness to one of the longest and most brutal wars in human history. 

The conflict lasted over a generation and was responsible for the deaths of up to half the population in some countries. 

When it finally ended, it resulted in a new geopolitical order, which, for the most part, still exists today.

Learn more about the Thirty Years’ War, one of the bloodiest wars in history, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

There are three central characters in DK Nnuro's new novel, What Napoleon Could Not Do. Belinda and Jacob are Ghanaian siblings who aspire to move to America and be accepted into the opportunities offered there. On the contrary, Wilder – Belinda's American husband, a Black Texan – has a completely different view of his home country and its treatment towards people like him. In today's episode, Nnuro tells NPR's Scott Simon about how he hoped to capture the tension between African and American identity, and why he thinks there should be more of an ellipsis than a dash between the two.

One day every year, the United States celebrates its biggest non-official holiday: Super Bowl Sunday. 

The championship game of the National Football League is almost always the biggest television audience of the year, and one of the most expensive tickets for any sporting event.

Learn more about the Super Bowl and how it became so big on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1612, when Galileo Galilei first looked at the stars through a telescope, he might have accidentally discovered a new planet, although he had no idea at the time. 

It wouldn’t be for another 300 years until astronomers found what Galileo had missed, and the process of discovery was unlike any other planet.

Today's episode covers two YA novels centered around Black youth and the portrayals they receive – or don't – in coming-of-age literature. First, NPR's Andrew Limbong speaks with Talia Hibbert about her new romantic comedy, Highly Suspicious And Unfairly Cute, which follows an unapologetically nerdy heroine reconciling with the ex-best friend jock that ditched her. Then, NPR's Ayesha Rascoe gets to talking with author Nick Brooks about his new mystery, Promise Boys, which revolves around how a group of Black students are blamed for the murder of their prestigious school's principal.
