Future Crimes: Everything Is Connected, Everyone Is Vulnerable, and What We Can Do About It by Marc Goodman

4.0

There's a lot of valuable information in "Future Crimes." Goodman has seemingly endless examples of online criminality and the reasons why it has proliferated so much (i.e. not enough people use the already-existing security tools or have enough tech literacy). However, he does get pretty repetitive at times. If I had the time (I don't), I could probably find approximately ten instances of similar paragraphs all saying the same thing: "Because criminals are better at computers than non-criminals, we must do more to reduce their impact!" Reading this kind of felt like each chapter was a standalone blog post, but when they were combined into a book, the primary Call To Action wasn't trimmed or cut. That said, it is worth a read if you're interested in tech crime.

(And yes, it did take me two years to read this book. I had a lot going on!)
