It took me 11 months, but I finally finished this! Really great book about cybersecurity: accessible to non-specialists while including lots of detail. Shapiro writes in a highly informative yet slightly sardonic voice that I enjoyed.

An in depth, pre-Snowden journalistic investigation into the world of whistleblowers and data leakers.

This was a tough read to get into. Interesting, but dry and dense. Every chapter is also an interweaving of multiple people‘s stories. Pair all that with intentional misgendering and deadnaming of Chelsea Manning and glossing over Julian Assange‘s sexual assault allegations, this is not a book I need to keep or revisit. 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

RaeLovesToRead Is this... non fiction? A story?? 12mo
Oryx @RaeLovesToRead the bear one? Non fiction about hacking. Sounds really interesting, but also had a bear on it, so sold. 12mo

Oryx @RaeLovesToRead I know, it sounds like some magical realism. Apparently it's a Russian cyber espionage group 🤷 who knew? 12mo
RaeLovesToRead I feel someone needs to write "The Adventures of Fancy Bear" and it not be about that 12mo
julesG Recently watched a documentary about the bears. Scary stuff. 12mo

Scott Shapiro, Yale Professor: “Suppose, however, I want to send some of my writings to my friend at Stanford? (This is hypothetical, of course: I have no friends at Stanford)”.

I have to give a presentation on cybersecurity this week and decided to re-listen to this audiobook. I absolutely love this book about a woman making a career in the early days of ethical hacking and penetration testing.

I read this book for work, but it ended up as the best read of April on my personal list! A fascinating look at cybersecurity. #12Booksof2022
