Overall I enjoyed, the hacking stuff was interesting while not being too dense. There were some bits I thought could be trimmed (if the set up for your analogy takes 2 pages you can probably find a better one).
I appreciate that having the messages between the hackers adds value to the text and it was often very interesting, but some bits definitely felt unnecessary (no surprise that hackers - a famously quite misogynistic group - say some tasteless things). Also, reading things like "for the lulz" in '24 gave me ptsd.

Not one of my favorite bedtime books (pretty technical, although well written) but I liked it. Definitely felt like I was trying to power through

Really liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Good stories and the technical stuff is kept to a minimum but still there if the reader wants to explore further.
