Good non expert introduction to computer science and cyber security. The stories are very entertaining but his conclusions and reccomendations are borderline insane.

This book felt very disjointed and was not what I was expecting. The description made it seem more like a history of hacking, through the story of five hacks. Instead it is very technical. It also does not seem to flow smoothly for the bits that are based on the history of hacking. Maybe if you're interested in the more technical side of things this book will be for you.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
