Title: Let's watch the text roll by.
Product review: I expected a lot out of this book. But it bored me to death. Here is the plot:A $.75 accounting discrepancy alerts an Astronomer cum Computer Scientist to a Cracker's presence in his system.Like a cat that never pounces, he watches, and alerts the appropriate authorities, who in turn point the finger round and round until the Cracker returns. Rinse. repeat. Occasionally, the protagonist is away from the lab, living his life when he is called away, but we really don't care because those characters are flat and lifeless. Maybe the general public finds the Cracker's methods described in the book as intriguing, but as a computer professional, there were no surprises. The final chapter is speculation based pieced together from the gossip, rumor, and headlines.Don't bother reading this. If you do bother, get it from the library.
