Huge thanks to the New York Times Book Review for naming the revised Cult of the Dead Cow one of its three nonfiction paperback picks of the week. Here is no-paywall version: www.pilotonline.com/2025/12/17/p... #books #hacking
Paperbacks worth reading or giving, from histories to novels
Good books on Handel’s ‘Messiah,’ hackers, saving seeds in the Siege of Leningrad, an Indian school before Wounded Knee, and more.
