Sandworm

Well written and clear, I'm about ready to buy a generator and solar panels for the inevitable day when the blackouts come.

Executive Summary: 3.5 stars. A bit slow in places, but a pretty fascinating and scary read.

Full Review
I've had a subscription to wired.com for the last year or so, and I tend to click on/read most of Mr. Greenberg's articles. He tends to focus on cybersecurity and computer crime.

This book focuses on the increasingly scarier world of state-sponsored hackers and cyber warfare. I've read a few other books on this now and I found it pretty well researched and written. I didn't know much of the events in this book so I feel like I learned a lot from it.

America tends to just focus on itself, so a lot of this was left to minor headlines and largely ignored by the public. However the internet has made the world a much smaller place, and the warning signs this book presents should not be ignored by any country.

If you enjoy computer hacking stories this book is worth a look, otherwise it may be worthwhile to check out an article on the subject instead.

Mitt Romney was right. It's incredible how much Russia has tested their cyber weapons, how much we know about it, and how little things have changed despite how obvious the dangers are.
