Ask HN: Media recommendations for hackers
Hi HN, do you have any recommendations of interesting and entertaining {movies, books, podcasts, etc.} for a hacker.
I'm thinking something along the lines of either Zero Days from 2016 [1], a documentary about Stuxnet. Or something like the talk from James Mickens about IoT security that was recently shared here [2].

- 'Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World's First Digital Weapon' by Kim Zetter.
- 'The Cuckoo’s Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage' by Clifford Stoll.
Both of these books are old-school infosec stories, and both are well worth the time. If I remember correctly, I listened to Countdown to Zero Day over a few days on Audible, and read The Cuckoo's Egg in one or two sittings in paperback.
