A Reading List

Computer security is not merely a technical field. Knowing about people, and about societies, guides the application of the technical material. During this class we'll often refer to an eclectic collection of books that teach lessons we can apply to computer security. Here's a list of those books, and some others you might find fun. Please let us know if you know of other books we should add (especially non-technical ones)!
