This is an excellent book. I read it over the course of two days. The author, Chief Information Security Officer for the State of Michigan, has a lot of interesting ideas and is well qualified to write regarding the topic of maintaining your integrity while surfing the internet. If you find the title of the book interesting then this would be a good book for you to purchase for yourself or as a gift for the "geek" you know.
