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.
