'Halting State' a good read for security geeks

2008-01-24 00:00:00 by M. E. Kabay in Network World on Security

I have just finished reading a novel called 'Halting State,' by Charles Stross, that strikes me as a significant event for security specialists in the development of today's science fiction. Much as William Gibson's Neuromancer is credited with popularizing the notion of cyberspace in establishing the cyberpunk style, I think Halting State may be the first book that speaks directly to the culture of information security specialists.
