This is one of my favorite all-time books. It is clearly dated and of little technical interest any more, but the writing is pleasant, and the story is timeless. Synopsis: True story of a Berkeley post-doc who, trying to reconcile 75-cent discrepancy in computer account, uncovers foreign intruder using Berkeley system as gateway to US military installations. One reason I enjoy re-reading it periodically is that I used most of the now-obsolete computer systems, including PDP-8, PDP-10, VAX, and KERMIT file transfer software. I personally experienced the friendly conflict in the opening chapter between the VMS and UNIX gurus (I come down on the VMS side) and I especially appreciated the vignette in which it was concluded that the intruder was not from California because of his UNIX dialect.

Enjoyable and information IT novel
Great book. You'll learn about it history Linix commands or a bunch of other stuff without even knowing. Would highly suggest it to any looking to better understand networking.
