Hi All,
The book is not strickly speaking about security but I think there a number of Sci Fi fans floating around this site.
The book revoles heavily around distrubuted system programing and Nano technology. It took me a little while to get into the book but once I did I found it difficult to put down. The story was well written and interesting. The biolography was several pages long and makes for additional interesting reading.
Cheers,
-D
I happened to pick that book up in a grocery store about a week or so ago. Finished it a few days back and I must say that I was pretty impressed with the way he kept the story readable while discussing important issues about the future of nanotechnology. I'll reccommend it for anyone who wants a good read.
thanks dspeidel ive been so out of touch i didn't even know he had a new book out. i like crighton..except for eaters of the dead. /me gets slammed like always for saying this.
ill make a point of picking it up
I'm reading Tom Clancy's Net Force series, and it's pretty good so far, all about internet security and hackers but set slightly in the future
and then for a bit of reality, there's a series by John Sandford. His most recent book "The Devils Code" It's pretty good, kinda a computer/mystery series, and if you go farther back in the books, you can tell when he wrote it, by the computers that the characters use. . it's an easy read.
for the uberfreaks who not only work on computers, play on computers, then. . . .read hardcopy about computers!
:p
i am a big fan of chrichton myself....surely will pick up that book...thx for the info
It's on my list of books to read!

-snow shock
-alice in wonder land (by direction of my little cuz :) )
-and now the new Crichton
I have only read 2 of Crichton's books (adromida strain and the sphere) but i loved 'em both. thanks for the update, i've been out of the literature news stream as of late (again, due to school)

i read his earlier tech book that wasn't too bad but sanford as i know his him is a VERY scary man. his prey series!!!.....brrrr. thanks...have to check out the devils code stuff. hes a good writer.
I enjoyed the Sandford prey series -I was worried when he started writing about vampires but it ended up being ok. I thought that "Chasing the Dime" by Michael Connelly was also very well done. Great book I read it on a flight across the country.
On the Crichton series, would anyone recommend the Jurassic Park books?
I have Prey now and can't wait to dive in.
:cool:
I rather enjoyed the Original Jurrassic Park book (read it before the movie came out)Quote:
