Ryan's Reviews > Cult of the Dead Cow: How the Original Hacking Supergroup Might Just Save the World

A good introduction (and really the definitive account) of the cDc, one of the more self-referential and entertaining hacker groups of the 90s (technically 1984-now, but seemed at peak in the late 90s). Interesting for a variety of reasons, particularly how accomplished some of their members are -- heads of security, research, etc. for both large enterprises and security companies, DARPA, and a Congressman (and later Senatorial and Presidential candidate). As someone who was never in cDc but was around during a lot of these events (and know many of the members directly), this seems like a very true-to-life book about a weirder-than-life topic.
