Similar questions: title fiction bestseller thriller computer hacking.

The first book that came to mind about computer hacking as a thriller is "The Blue Nowhere", by Jeffery Deaver, but there are many books that could fill that bill. Do you know anything more about the story?.

Do you mean "The Cuckoo's Egg" by Cliff Stoll. I read this book years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it... it's definitely a thriller about computer hacking and was rather famous in its time so it might be the one you were thinking of. Looking it up on Amazon reveals that it's been recently republished and has a subtitle of "Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage".

I remember that the particular hacker in question had a penchant for Benson and Hedges cigarettes which explained many of the user names he made use of and facilitated in his capture. The book ended up involving all sorts of government agencies and hi-tech thriller material. The following is the Amazon.com synopsis of the book taken fromamazon.com/Cuckoos-Egg-Tracking-Computer... sentimental favorite, The Cuckoo's Egg seems to have inspired a whole category of books exploring the quest to capture computer criminals.

Still, even several years after its initial publication and after much imitation, the book remains a good read with an engaging story line and a critical outlook, as Clifford Stoll becomes, almost unwillingly, a one-man security force trying to track down faceless criminals who've invaded the university computer lab he stewards. What first appears as a 75-cent accounting error in a computer log is eventually revealed to be a ring of industrial espionage, primarily thanks to Stoll's persistence and intellectual tenacity. "If that's not the book you meant then I'd highly recommend it anyway, although it will seem a little dated in this day and age.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
