Geek Mafia Pseudo Book Review

So not a real book review because its not a tech book, but certainly a recommendation to grab a copy of Geek Mafia (PM Fiction) and read it if you read (and I may be kicked out of the "club" for this) non-technical books at all.

Geek Mafia has a good mix of tech, sex, geek, and adventure to make it a good read. I've ordered the second one (Geek Mafia: Mile Zero (PM Fiction) and I'm ordering the third one (Geek Mafia: Black Hat Blues (PM Fiction) as soon its available.

    I'm a big fan of the Stealing The Network series from Syngress which I liked due to the inclusion of technical details. How does this book compare?

    Cheers

    Agree with CG. I've read both and they're more entertaining than technical. The author has put a lot of time into researching the "hacker" scene and does a great job of portraying the technical details in a plausible manner while also mixing it with the fictional story.

    The main group of characters utilize a healthy mix of hacking and SE to pull of their various jobs. Very good stuff. I've read a sample chapter from the 3rd book and it's starts off at ShmooCon.

    I think both books are a great read.
