Click Here to Kill Everybody: Security and Survival in a Hyper-Connected World by Bruce Schneier

4.0

Really good intro into the issue, doesn’t go too far into detail and doesn’t require technical knowledge. Lots of good concrete examples of what is already happening due to internet insecurity and how this can continue to worsen if steps are not taken! The internet is literally EVERYWHERE now, everything is a computer and it’s dumb how government doesn’t seem to take that too seriously. Proves yet again that our current system doesn’t allow politicians to deal with long term issues which is dumb as hell. Not really about personal steps you can take as the average consumer since like in all other industries government regulation is needed! When pacemakers, cars, bioprinters and power stations all connect to the internet/ are hackable we need to secure that shit!!

Shall leave you with my fav tidbits
1. that perhaps a way to help combat insecurity would lead to us eventually needing internet insurance the same way we have car or home insurance
2. Criminals asking for ransom have a victim helpline to help you send the ransom money. Way to rub that shit in the victims face man. That’s big dick energy for sure.

PS Why do so many nonfiction books get boring by the last 75 pages?
PPS We’re no longer in the era of Charles Dickens, stop repeating yourself so often and get to the meat of the issue. Hence why you’re only getting a 4 star my guy.
