Interestingly, not all readers had agreed with The Verge’s own list published last month, although I must, I felt most were quite well justified to be on. Readers’ lists though are always interesting as they are anyway the target market for the publication.
On this list, I have only read Hackers and Rebel Code, and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. I realised I have not read Ghost in the Wires yet, and there are one or two more on this list I’d love to read.
The most common pick was The Cuckoo’s Egg by Clifford Stoll, the story of a minor billing discrepancy that became an international cyberespionage hunt — written by the guy who cracked the case.
