Historia
Over the last decade, a single innovation has massively fueled digital black markets: cryptocurrency. Crime lords inhabiting lawless corners of the internet have operated more freely—whether in drug dealing, money laundering, or human trafficking—than their analog counterparts could have ever dreamed of. By transacting not in dollars or pounds but in currencies with anonymous ledgers, overseen by no government, beholden to no bankers, these black marketeers have sought to rob law enforcement of their chief method of cracking down on illicit finance: following the money.

Historia
Rich. Wealthy. Well-heeled. Moneyed. Affluent. Not bad — but why not get Stacked instead? If you’ve ever dreamed of a basic philosophy of money that’ll help you live bigger, be bolder, and laugh harder, you need this book. In these uncertain times, the basics matter more than ever. But for most of us, concepts such as investing, budgeting, and getting out of debt just don’t float our boats (or 150-foot yachts) — and so we put them off longer than we should.

Historia
Black holes are the most extreme objects in the universe, and yet they are ubiquitous. Frighteningly enigmatic, these dark giants continue to astound even the scientists who spend their careers studying them. Einstein’s Monsters reveals how our comprehension of black holes is intrinsically linked to how we make sense of the universe and our place within it. From the small questions to the big ones - from the tiniest particles to the nature of space-time itself - black holes might be the key to a deeper understanding of the cosmos.

Historia
In Remember, neuroscientist and acclaimed novelist Lisa Genova delves into how memories are made and how we retrieve them. You'll learn whether forgotten memories are temporarily inaccessible or erased forever and why some memories are built to exist for only a few seconds (like a passcode) while others can last a lifetime (your wedding day). You'll come to appreciate the clear distinction between normal forgetting (where you parked your car) and forgetting due to Alzheimer's (that you own a car).

Historia
Tell a stranger that you talk to yourself, and you’re likely to get written off as eccentric. But the truth is that we all have a voice in our head. When we talk to ourselves, we often hope to tap into our inner coach but find our inner critic instead. When we’re facing a tough task, our inner coach can buoy us up: Focus - you can do this. But, just as often, our inner critic sinks us entirely: I’m going to fail. They’ll all laugh at me. What’s the use?

During the Roaring Twenties, two of the most revered and influential men in American business proposed to transform one of the country’s poorest regions into a dream technological metropolis, a shining paradise of small farms, giant factories, and sparkling laboratories. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison’s “Detroit of the South” would be 10 times the size of Manhattan, powered by renewable energy, and free of air pollution. And it would reshape American society.

We live in a “post-truth” world, we’re told. But was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? Or have people been lying, fibbing, and just plain bullsh*tting since the beginning of time? Tom Phillips, editor of a leading independent fact-checking organization, deals with this question every day. In Truth, he tells the story of how we humans have spent history lying to each other - and ourselves - about everything from business to politics to plain old geography.

Historia
Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: Observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria.

Medical doctor and researcher Dr. Kris Verburgh is quickly emerging as one of the world's leading research authorities on the science of aging. The Longevity Code is his authoritative guide on why and how we age and on the four most crucial areas we have control over in order to slow down - and even reverse - the aging process. We learn why some animal species hardly age at all while others age and die very quickly and about the mechanisms at work that slowly but definitely cause our bodies to age, making us susceptible to heart attack, stroke, cancer, pneumonia, and dementia.

Historia
Jacques Ellul’s The Technological Society has become a classic in its field, laying the groundwork for all other studies of technology and society that have followed. Ellul offers a penetrating analysis of our technological civilization, showing how technology - which began innocuously enough as a servant of humankind - threatens to overthrow humanity itself in its ongoing creation of an environment that meets its own ends. No conversation about the dangers of technology and its unavoidable effects on society can begin without a careful listening of this book.

Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist and one of this world’s most celebrated writers on science, rewrites the history of 20th-century physics. Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time. His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity changes, well, everything. Most physicists haven’t even recognized the uncomfortable truth: Physics has been in crisis since 1927.

Resumen del Editor
Cyber Wars gives you the dramatic inside stories of some of the world's biggest cyber attacks. These are the game-changing hacks that make organisations around the world tremble and leaders stop and consider just how safe they really are. Charles Arthur provides a gripping account of why each hack happened, what techniques were used, what the consequences were and how they could have been prevented.
Cyber attacks are some of the most frightening threats currently facing business leaders, and this book provides a deep insight into understanding how they work and how hackers think as well as giving invaluable advice on staying vigilant and avoiding the security mistakes and oversights that can lead to downfall. No organisation is safe, but by understanding the context within which we now live and what the hacks of the future might look like, you can minimise the threat.
In Cyber Wars, you will learn how hackers in a TK Maxx parking lot managed to steal 94m credit card details, costing the organization $1bn; how a 17-year-old leaked the data of 157,000 TalkTalk customers, causing a reputational disaster; how Mirai can infect companies' Internet of Things devices and let hackers control them; how a sophisticated malware attack on Sony caused corporate embarrassment and company-wide shut down; and how a phishing attack on Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta's email affected the outcome of the 2016 US election.

Two presidents - Bush and Obama - drew first blood with Operation Olympic Games, which used malicious code to blow up Iran’s nuclear centrifuges, and yet America proved remarkably unprepared when its own weapons were stolen from its arsenal.

Buying groceries, tracking our health, finding a date: whatever we want to do, odds are that we can now do it online. But few of us ask how all these digital products are designed, or why. It's time we change that. Many of the services we rely on are full of oversights, biases, and downright ethical nightmares. Chatbots that harass women. Signup forms that fail anyone who's not straight. Social media sites that send peppy messages about dead relatives. Algorithms that put more black people behind bars.

It’s a signal paradox of our times that we live in an information society but do not know how it works.

Shapiro draws on his popular Yale University class about hacking to expose the secrets of the digital age. With lucidity and wit, he establishes that cybercrime has less to do with defective programming than with the faulty wiring of our psyches and society.

The Perfect Weapon is the startling inside story of how the rise of cyberweapons transformed geopolitics like nothing since the invention of the atomic bomb. Cheap to acquire, easy to deny, and usable for a variety of malicious purposes, cyber is now the weapon of choice for democracies, dictators, and terrorists. Two presidents - Bush and Obama - drew first blood with Operation Olympic Games, which used malicious code to blow up Iran’s nuclear centrifuges, and yet America proved remarkably unprepared when its own weapons were stolen from its arsenal.

For the security professional and average joe
“Cyber Wars” subtitled “Hacks That Shocked the Business World” is the second book written by Charles Arthur available on Audible in audiobook format. His previous work titled “Digital Wars: Apple, Google, Microsoft, and the Battle for the Internet” appears to have been well received and reviewed; I may have to give that one a listen as well. The Audiobook edition of this book is well narrated by Joe Jameson who has over a hundred books currently narrated on audible at the time of this review. Let me start by saying that I have been in the information security field for over thirty years and I continue to fight the cat and mouse game alongside other when it comes to attackers vs. defenders. Most of the attacks covered in this book were front and center not only in the security community but on the front cover of most newspapers as well. Even if you are not a professional having a deep understanding of computer security, I think you will be fascinated by the research uncovered in this book. It still amazes me when I see just what dedicated and driven people will do when they put their minds to it. The author does a decent job of breaking down some of the technology for novices, but he also does not lose the seasoned professional. It is a fine line to walk, and this book did an exceptional job of permitting both types to enjoy it equally.
Overall the book felt well researched and presented in the clear manner. Each of the various attacks were outlined and then the author provides a deeper dive in to what happened. Much of the books research appears to have come from the author interviewing or conversing with people who were in the know for a given attack; either ex-workers, people in the security field, etc. For me, I was not as much a fan of the lessons learned section at the end of each chapter. However, some reading this book might gain from this information and hopefully think about or improve their security posture because of it. I just felt that security advice is often easier when we look back and analyze what could have been done to prevent an attack. Reviewing an attack and learning from what went wrong is a major way of preventing future attacks from being successful, yet the details the author provided were often high-level and not specific to a given organization.
As much as the author tried to make the book work for security enthusiasts and lay people alike, there were a few places that I felt he could have provided more detail to the less experienced. Maybe a more information on what an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is and how many have names with specific animals assigned to them (bear, panda, dragon, etc.). A bit more time spent on the benefits of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). I felt overall, he did a good job of discussing what a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is and why they can be so devastating to a company or person who depends on the Internet for a living. It also seemed that the author breezed over the importance of data brokers when it comes to protecting one’s information; think credit bureaus. More and more we are seeing the release of information from these data collection agencies and often there is no ramifications when it happens; the UKs GDPR is a positive direction here.
A few other areas where I thought the author did a good job was around the recent rise in tech support and bank phone scams. Ever had the “IRS” call you saying you owe them money and you have to pay them back using Google’s Play cards? He also touched on the critical nature of Internet of Things (IoT) and the usual tradeoffs between security and ez-of-use. Who or what is required to patch a device that is vulnerable to attack, and if such a device is used in an attack who is responsible? All very difficult questions to ask that will become even more important as this area of connectivity grows, and more lives are at risk. There was also a small chapter at the end of the book where the author covers future attacks. Here is not only talks about medical and IoT systems, but the idea of vulnerable machine learning systems. What if someone is able to teach an autonomous vehicle that a stop sign is really a go symbol. Or, what if humans are ignored from the equation and simply seen as just part of the pavement. These and many more attacks mentioned in this portion of the book will become the next TJ Maxx or Sony Entertainment.
The book’s audio narration was good. It is often difficult determining the performance quality based on one’s reading of a non-fiction book. We did not have multiple characters needing to be voiced, it was a simple reading of the book itself. Mr. Jameson did a good job of performing the piece and I do not recall any audio artifacts (page turns, swallows, background noise) while listening. The reading was well paced, and the volume levels were consistent. I do not recall listening to other works by this narrator previously, yet the book felt like it was performed by a professional.
Parents and younger readers, I do not have it in my notes, however I believe there were a few places when the author quotes others containing vulgar language. Apart from the infrequent use of profanity, the book could be enjoyed by younger audiences who are interested in the cyber security field.
In summary, if you are looking for a book that uncovers many of the security issues the plagued the early days of the internet and had a great impact on the companies effected, you have found it here in Cyber Wars. Even today, as attacks become more sophisticated, the means of defending them will be even more difficult. The book is not a Cyber Wars for Dummies, yet it is approachable and enjoyable by both those in the industry and not. The book gets a recommendation from me.

Cyber security Class Text. Excellent Choice.
Very informative, updated, well researched and written. Loved the real life events of Cyber attacks and learning how they could've been avoided. Also interesting to note, a bunch of young men in late teens have some intelligent brains inventing hacks that literally changed the world. They need incentive to become White Hats, altho Gonzalez failed in that and succumbed to his greed & is still locked up. Excellent book! Thank to my Prof Smith for picking a recent book thats available on Audible. So much easier and faster than reading. 👏🏽

Should be named Cyber Attacks.
I was hoping when I purchased this book that it would be about the many actual state sponsored attacks that have occurred. Instead it was just kind of a history of hacks most people know. It did go into a little detail that made it interesting, but for the most part it barely skimmed across many historical Cyber wars that almost bankrupted certain countries in the baltics.
