so-soThis book was interesting, but I didn‘t like how the time line tended to jump around and I really disliked the lack of in text citations. This was a good way to learn about the history of cyberwar in the USA, but I think in many cases under played some of the dangers. 2/5. Read if you want to know more about the history of cyber war, cyber attacks, and cyber war planning in the USA. It‘s a bit boring but good info.
so-soGood recounting of the development of the perception of cyber threats from the Reagan to the Obama presidency and how the executive branch reacted to the rapid change of information warfare. Still, the writing (or the narration) left me very disengaged.
pickI wasn't sure if this would be my kind of book. I'm a creative at heart, but spent time working in the Internet marketing world long ago. It was a five-star read though! It covers politics, incompetent and otherwise, blended in with technology and some scary possibilities. Next I'm hunting to see what Kaplan thinks about the last year's cyber warfare events!

Starting this audio and hoping to get some listening in while I run errands and do chores today. I need a nonfiction book about technology for #readharder2017 and this one fits the bill! Maybe there'll be some information about #artificialintelligence in it also!

Book Haul Thursday! Super excited to read all if these! Circle and Dark Territory are both ones I found on Litsy! #blameitonlitsy #tbr #bookmail #bookhaul #geekbooks
Another Audible sale opened up today. Just what I've been saving credits for! Honestly, I need so much more time than I have for all these. You know what I mean!
During the Cold War, American spy planes penetrated the Russian border in order to force Soviet officers to turn on their radar and thus reveal information about their air-defense systems. Submarine crews would tap into underwater cables near Russian ports to intercept communications, and discover patterns, of Soviet naval operations.
pickThis satisfied my geek gene. I also work very near Ft. Meade/NSA, so I'm interested in all things happening over there.
