This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends: The Cyberweapons Arms Race by Nicole Perlroth

dark funny informative medium-paced

I loved the journalistic approach and person forward storytelling, coupled with the contextual geopolitics, information about the government, etc. Though I do think that contributed also to a minor sense of head swirling at just how layered and complex these things can be — even as a software engineer that keeps fairly up to date with geopolitics! She deftly weaves multiple nation-states/corporations security policies and actions, security history, sources all across different government departments, and hacker/security figure profiles to a cohesive and very well written/composed narrative. I’m both terrified and glad to have read this. 

All my homies hate IoT/me first security policy!!
