Dark territory: the secret history of cyber war

摘要

This book amazes on many levels. First, the level of detail is staggering. Dates, names, conversations-the facts sometimes come so fast and furious you have to stop and take a breath. This is old-school journalistic research, not the post-People magazine anecdotes that pass for "facts" on the evening news these days. Second, the serendipity that brought us to our current situation is fascinating. Random acquaintances, rampant disinterest and lack of understanding, personal ambitions-it's a soap opera of grand proportions. Earnest engineers toil in the background, but our cybersecurity laws and policies are primarily the product of the base desires of misinformed power seekers, an intersection of those who don't care with those who don't know.
