COUNTDOWN TO ZERO DAY
Countdown to Zero Day
Kim Zetter
★★★★★
The definitive account of Stuxnet. Required reading for anyone who thinks cyberwar is abstract. It isn't — centrifuges were physically destroyed by code.
GHOST FLEET
Ghost Fleet
P.W. Singer & August Cole
★★★★★

THE PERFECT WEAPON
The Perfect Weapon
David Sanger
★★★★★
How America became both the architect and the target of cyber conflict. Extraordinary reporting on Stuxnet's aftermath.
SANDWORM
Sandworm
