Stealing the Network

Check out the Stealing The Network series if you're into security - it's a bunch of short stories about network security usually written from the POV of a hacker who's trying to gain access to a system. The stories are very tech-heavy to the point that parts of the stories are non-fiction, with huge excerpts from console sessions and the like.

without visible comment scores, this thread is not as useful as it could have been. For computer security fact-wrapped-up-as-fiction, the "Stealing the network' books are very entertaining, realistic depictions of 'the perfect hack'. For scifi, I enjoy collections of short stories such as the "new writings in SF" anthologies. But they're hard to get hold of, so any "best SF" collection of short stories will serve you well. For postmodern fiction, Haruki Murakami's Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World is a great read.
