Secrets and Lies:
Digital Security in a Networked World - Newcomers to the world of Schneier will
be surprised at how funny he can be, especially given a subject commonly
perceived as quiet and dull. Whether he's analyzing the security issues
of the rebels and the Death Star in Star Wars or poking fun at
the giant software and e-commerce companies that consistently sacrifice
security for sexier features, he's one of the few tech writers who can
provoke laughter consistently. While moderately pessimistic on the
future of systems vulnerability, he goes on to relieve the reader's
tension by comparing our electronic world to the equally insecure paper
world we've endured for centuries--a little smart-card fraud doesn't
seem so bad after all. Despite his unfortunate (but brief) shill for his
consulting company in the book's afterword, you can trust Schneier to
dish the dirt in Secrets & Lies. --Rob Lightner
How the Internet Works: Millennium Edition
- The Internet does many
wondrous things, but an alarming number of them remain "black
boxes" whose interior workings are a mystery. In How the
Internet Works, Preston Gralla shows how information gets from here
to there on the world's biggest computer network. With assistance from
illustrators Sarah Ishidi, Mina Reimer, and Stephen Adams, Gralla
presents a series of full-color spreads, each of which picks apart some
aspect of Internet technology. You'll find explanations of Uniform
Resource Locators (URLs), Web browsers, electronic mail, Web search
engines, multimedia, and more. There's a spread that shows how bulk
e-mailers (known as spammers) extract addresses from newsgroups and send
advertisements to them. --David Wall
Digital Capital: Harnessing the Power of Business Webs
- This is one of
the few business books that dare address the central issue for most
companies today: How to establish competitively-advantaged business
models for serving customers that capture the power of the Internet to
work with others. Anyone who doesn't know what they want to do for an
Internet-based business model or doesn't like the one they have will get
great benefit from this book. --: Donald W. Mitchell
