Title: Interesting read all these years later
Product review: I read this book on the recommendation of a friend of mine. I'm a computer engineer who is just a little too young to identify with the systems described in this book. I found this book fascinating in the descriptions of how Cliff Stoll and his contemporaries viewed computer networks in the late 80's. It was a very different world back then.The book is well written and doesn't get bogged down in code or anything like that. Stoll adds just enough personal story to this book to make it interesting while focusing mostly on his search for his elusive hacker. He even includes his chocolate chip cookie recipe in the footnotes!Overall, this book is a great piece of computer history and well worth the read.
