Ghost in the Wires

by Kevin Mitnick

I've read this book 1 time and given it an average score of 3 (out of 4).

Pretty good read. The book definitely felt exciting, though somehow... unsatisfying. There was a lot of detail about phones, which feels a little less relevant today. He also came across as a bit of a dick as he negatively affected a lot of people in his life over what basically boiled down to an addiction or compulsion. That being said, I enjoyed reading about his success with social engineering, which remains incredibly relevant today.
