Will Damron's read of the audiobook of Cliff Stoll's "The Cuckoo's Egg" is excellent.

While the book is required reading or listening as a historical record for anyone interested in Information Security, it's a thoroughly enjoyable a thriller. Though much of the technology mentioned is familiar to folks who are thinking I'm about to call them old, it's unsurprising how much remains painfully pertinent today, yet pleasing how a few things have improved significantly given only a few decades.

While some library networks such as the DoD MWR will keep you waiting months for one of their few copies, Fairfax County has unlimited copies of the audiobook.

I hope @AndresFreundTec is keeping good notes on his adventures with xz/liblzma.
