Review: This is well written, very accessible narrative of Stuxnet. That will appeal to the more technical reader. I was impressed by the detailed description that Zetter included, without hurting the narrative of the book. The length of the reviews on the page is evidence enough that people read it carefully and felt the need to share. Hugely recommended.

Review: I bought this because I wanted to know more about the Stuxnet virus and the potential implication that it was created by western government(s) to sabotage the Iranian nuclear program. Incredibly interesting, and seemingly very few stones left unturned (as others have said, many references provided throughout). I somewhat sat on the fence to start with, erring on the side of caution that governments could create such things and the dangers they could unleash. As I read on though, I couldn't help but be impressed at the ingenuity that these people must have gone to. Iran seems to be perceived in the media as a hard done by nation that's always being picked on. However, if your nation is having to hide nuclear complexes from the IAEA, design them to make them missile proof or if you conveniently 'forget' you had specific centrifuges then you probably deserve all you get... This book doesn't seem to be a negative take on the issue of cyber-weapons, and remains impartial and well balanced. It is all the better for it. It discusses the business of zero day exploits and how they are (may?) traded between persons and government, with many hacks being held back for whatever reasons. Brinksmanship for a new age.
