Oh, I remember reading this (Estonian translation) as a teenager. First time it dawned to me that the world of computers can actually be kind of scary or even dangerous, and yet so compelling... Nice reminder, thanks!

I guess I will do some procrastination reading @CliffStoll's posts on HN right now.

+1, really enjoyed that book. I had recently read the Illuminatus! trilogy and was really amused to find the hacker named himself after one of the characters from the books.

Amazing read, super gripping real world, computer, network, spy story.

...and even better, Cliff is a regular poster here on HN!
