The Future of Hacking contains a lot of information and has a very wide scope. The author clearly is very familiar with the subject and has interviewed many people while researching this publication. The book takes the reader through where hacking comes from, and hacking today, including ethical hacking. The book's main thrust is prevention and cybersecurity, but only in a general sense (it's not a how-to guide). It's an American book, and some of the advice/suggestions are specific to the USA, although it does cover other countries as well (partly for examples of good practices of cybersecurity awareness).

I found the book a bit dry. It covers a huge amount of material, and the title suggests a very wide scope. Having read it, I can't see myself doing anything differently, in addition to the steps I already take. The future it calls for, in a nutshell, is one where a lot more resources are devoted to cybersecurity and to raising awareness of the need for it. I can't disagree.

*The Future of Hacking* provides an eye-opening look into the evolving world of cybersecurity, blurring the lines between hackers and heroes. With in-depth interviews from global experts, it explores the critical role of ethical hacking, digital defense, and the real-world impact of cyber threats, offering both tech enthusiasts and newcomers a comprehensive understanding of the digital landscape. This thought-provoking book highlights the pressing need for cyber awareness in today’s interconnected society.

We live now in a world where online & phone scams have become something common. With the emergence of AI things have become even more blurry while we as consumers have yet to be prepared for this new reality.

The book addresses this concern, starting with a history of hacking, which is not an easy thing to accomplish as this is a domain that thrives on fluidity and mystery. This is precisely what drew me to this book and I am grateful to have received it in order to share my view on it.

The great value of this work lies in the bridge it creates between the science, its practitioners and everyday users. What stays with me after reading it is the immense need for awareness and education for users + the need for more cyber security, as the future of hacking is personalized.

I greatly appreciate it brings fourth stories of people on all levels of this matter, from hackers to cyber investigators to people who suffered from being hacked or scammed, all with curiosity, space and empathy. While, in the beginning I thought this would be a book for professionals, it's a book for everyone, so I highly recommend it.
