IMO this content is better in print. But easy listening and full of jargon. Very much a ‘big picture’ overview.

Dry and meta

The book is kind of useless. His personal stories are fine. Nothing really great or in depth. I didn’t personally find them transferable.

The resource in the book are very good if this is your first book or exposure to cybersecurity. If not, you will already know all the resources.

If you already know a bit about cybersecurity, you can skip this book.

Good if it’s your first cybersecurity book

It's like a very long advertisement, narrated by someone that gets on nerves. How fitting.

Nothing you won't find on YouTube.
