Reviewed Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon

This is a great one for anyone who is interested in InfoSec. This is a story about the world’s first (known) digital weapon. If you haven’t heard of Stuxnet, hold on to your socks. This thing sounds like the bad plot to a low-budget, doomsday film. The weirdest part of this book is that it all really happened.

If you have not heard of it before, Stuxnet was a computer virus that was created to physically thwart Iran’s ability to enrich uranium. That’s right, a computer virus to physically put a stop to Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons.

I don’t want to give too much of the story away, but this is a great listen. Even if you’re not really into InfoSec, it is very interesting.

If you are looking for a quick summary of the book, instead of a review of the audiobook, check out this summary I wrote for a book club in 2017. Remember, summaries contain spoilers.
