Review:
Tsutomu Shimomura writes about his hunt of Kevin Mitnick. The book is influenced by Shimomura being one of the victims of Kevin. A very good description of the technical hunt that finally caught Kevin Mitnick.

Review:
In the dust jacket blurbs, Mitch Kapor is quoted as calling this, "A Magic Mystery Tour of the human side of cyberspace."

Review:
The title covers more than the book actually examines. The hacker culture is not viewed as a whole, but only isolated, though admittedly important, pockets. The first part of the book deals with the early days of the MIT lab, the second with the Homebrew Computer Club and the growth of the microcomputer industry.

Review:
Another book about Keven Mitnick and him being chased down by Tsutomu Shimomura and finally caught. This time from a third person's view with background information on both of them. Good reading but Kevin is still the very bad guy.
