"I loved this book. It is probably the most engaging and important book relating to security that I've read. Geekonomics
tackles head on the growing security and safety problems brought on by faulty software, and what needs to be done. If you read only one book this year, Geekonomics should be it."
- Dorothy Denning, One of the world's most respected computer-security experts
"If you are dependent upon software ( and of course, all of us in the modern world are) this book is a fabulous discussion of how and why we should worry."
- Becky Bace, Venture Consultant to Trident Capital and honored as "One of the Five Most Influential Women in Information Security" by Information Security Magazine.
"Rice is a prophet...Geekonomics is not only an important book, it is also a good book. Rice is smart and thoughtful, and he knows how to write. "
-Stephen Few, Visual Business Intelligence
"This book could be for the software industry what Ralph Nader's Unsafe At Any Speed was for the automobile industry in the 1960s. This book is destined to influence software law."
Ben Wright, Attorney and Author of Business Law and Computer Security.
"I really, really liked Geekonomics, and I think all security and even technology professionals should read it. The future of software is legal, and Geekonomics is an incredible way to understand what is happening in our industry."
- Richard Bejtlich, TaoSecurity.com
"The clarity of David's argument and the strength of his conviction are truly inspiring. If you don't believe the world of software affects the world in which you live, you owe it to yourself
to read this book."
- Lenny Zetlzer, SANS Institute faculty member and the New York Security Consulting Manager at Savvis, Inc.
"Information Security is an issue that concerns governments, companies and, increasingly, citizens. Are the computer systems and software to which we entrust our sensitive and critical information, technologies that are out of control? David Rice has
written an important and welcome book that goes to the heart of this issue, and points to solutions that society as a whole needs to debate and embrace."
- Nick Bleech, IT Security Director, Rolls-Royce
"Geekonomics stays with you long after you finish reading the book. You will reconsider every assumption you have had about software costs and benefits."
- Slava Frid, Gemini Systems, CTO, Resilience Technology Solutions
