What book are you reading?

[Hubert]

Hi everybody,

What books are you reading or listening to, can you share with me, I have read all my favorite books and now I don't know if there are any good books to read. Can you help me ? 

Thank!

I strongly recommend Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems by Ross Anderson.  Very good reading.

Also, Click Here to Kill Everybody by Bruce Schneier.

And for pleasure, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.

I just finished Code Warriors: NSA's Codebreakers and the Secret Intelligence War Against the Soviet Union by Stephen Budiansky: https://www.amazon.ca/Code-Warriors-Codebreakers-Intelligence-Against/dp/0385352662.

It focuses on NSA during the Cold War, from the end of World War II to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. There's a bit of cryptography, but it's mostly about the politics and jostling for prestige and power. If you've ever worked with or for a cryptologic agency, I expect the culture and the topics will feel familiar.
