   Infosec folks! Read any good books lately?

   Looking for novella-or-longer fiction from the last couple-three years with some kind of infosec slant. Does NOT have to be realistic in any way (sff is fine!). Does not have to be amazing literature (pulp is fine!). Graphic novels fine (I have The Private Eye on my list already)!

   Asking for a me-and-my-syllabus. For context, you can find the assignment under "Learn (?) from a book" in https://dsalo.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/510syllf2023.pdf

     Check out the Martin Hench books (_Red_Team_Blues_ and _The_Bezzle_) by @pluralistic. The protagonist is a forensic accountant and there's a fair bit of fun infosec related content in them.

     @ducksauz @dsalo @pluralistic
     Both are excellent books😊. I read Read Red Team Blues first and then listened to the audiobook for the Bezzle. I’m just here to get #MartyHenchIsAMench trending 😅 and thank @pluralistic for #drmFree content.
