And a side note - does it piss anyone else off how Kindle books are now (more often than not) more expensive than the actual paperback? I love the convenience of ordering books for my Kindle but it just rubs me the wrong way that I could get an actual physical copy for LESS money...

A good NYMag read from Bruce Schneier's blog about hackers hitting NYC.

“Futuristic Cyberattack Scenario - This is a piece of near-future fiction about a cyberattack on New York, including hacking of cars, the water system, hospitals, elevators, and the power grid. Although it is definitely a movie-plot attack, all the individual pieces are plausible and will certainly happen individually and separately.
Worth reading -- it's probably the best example of this sort of thing to date.

Another series (just 2 books) I read some years ago that I just re-read is called "Feathers on the Wings of Love and Hate" written by John Grit. If you can get over the corny relationship of the main character and his girlfriend its a good book. Takes place in the US in the not-so-distant future where the world has gone full socialist and the World Gov is now trying to eliminate the last freedom-loving hold outs in America.

I started "The Survivalist" series by Arthur T Bradley. Virus released to start mankind over. Decent characters but you can tell there is some stealing from the tv series Justified. Main character is just like raylen givens. The quick draw routine gets a little old when dispatching bad guys who have been disarmed since shooting an unarmed man would be dishonorable. Would goes to shit do what you can to survive. 8 books and am working on number 4. Kept me going this far for a cheap quick read.
