Cory Doctorow, in the introduction to this volume, says that there are two sides in every war: combatants and non-combatants. That's a good description of the central conflict of DMZ, because our protagonist, Matty Roth, doesn't seem sure as to which of those he is.

Matty gets involved with a terrorist cell. He swears to himself that it's just to get a story on illegal activity on a company that's been awarded DMZ reconstruction contracts, but he ends up getting pretty deep, and his choices have some unexpected and unfortunate outcomes.
