Review: The Cuckoo's Egg

The Cuckoo's Egg The Cuckoo's Egg by Clifford Stoll
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The highly energetic Stoll has a great tale told here; computer crime before the authorities knew what it was. Even on following readings, the part of him literally jiggling the wire to disrupt the hacker without letting on that observation was occurring gives me thrills.
