Digital Fortress by Dan Brown
Completed reading the ‘Book Digital Fortress’ by Dan Brown– Reading a book after so many years was a challenge, but the sheer determination and the insights into finer aspects of cyber security , woven inside a story, pushed me towards completion. Amazing that the author could write so much on virus, worms and cryptography even in 1998, though some of the suspense could be guessed. Knowledge like prime numbers and Atomic weights could deter a reader but then those were included finely as part of the story. People associate with and practicing cyber security personnel , perhaps, will enjoy the finer aspects more. Many lessons learnt from the wonderful book and one such is ‘Never take on a 320 page book’, assuming the reading and memory skills of early years !!!
