Kingpin: The True Story of Max Butler, the Master Hacker Who Ran a Billion Dollar Cyber Crime Network, ISBN 9780733627712 - Abbey's Bookshop | A world of books

http://www.abbeys.com.au/book/kingpin-book-9780733627712.do#fragment-1 The word spread through the hacking underground like some unstoppable new virus: an audacious crook had staged a hostile takeover of an online criminal network that siphoned billions of dollars from the US economy. The culprit was a brilliant programmer with a hippie ethic and a supervillain's double identity. Max Vision Butler was a white-hat hacker and a celebrity throughout the programming world, even serving as a consultant to the FBI. But there was another side to Max. As the black-hat Iceman , he'd seen the fraudsters around him squabble, their ranks riddled with infiltrators, their methods inefficient, and in their dysfunction was the ultimate challenge: he would stage a coup and steal their ill-gotten gains from right under their noses. Through the story of Max Butler's remarkable rise, Kingpin lays bare the workings of a silent crime wave affecting millions worldwide.
Prediction is a dangerous game. Not only is it difficult in foresight and easy in hindsight, but it also carries the possibility that you’ll be completely and utterly wrong. THE SIXTH WAVE makes a very bold prediction indeed. It predicts the next wave of innovation. http://sixthwave.org/?page_id=10

Les livres de l'année que nous avons préférés | slate

Peggy Sastre vous conseille La Faculté des Rêves de Sara Stridsberg. Ça commence sur son cadavre rongé par les vers dans un hôtel miteux, rempli de putes et de drogués. Le cadavre de Valerie Solanas, celle qui tira sur Andy Wahrol quelques mois après avoir écrit SCUM Manifesto , l'un des textes les plus importants du XXème siècle - et pas seulement pour le féminisme. Le livre de Sara Stridsberg avait tout pour me déplaire : c'est une biographie, romancée de surcroît, d'une personne à qui je voue un culte (pas touche !). Mais non. La Faculté des Rêves, écrit par une suédoise de 36 ans, se dévore du début à la fin : pour la force de sa poésie, pour l'effacement total de l'auteure qui rentre avec une acuité monstrueuse dans les voix de ses personnages, pour l'impression d'être totalement là, dans cette époque, dans ce monde mort fait de puissantes utopies idéologico-artistiques délirantes et tragiques. http://www.slate.fr/story/14697/les-livres-de-lannee-que-nous-avons-preferes
