"Ghost in the Wires" by Kevin Mitnick with William L. Simon - Audiobook read by Ray Porter.

This is the audiobook equivalent of a page-turner, at least partly thanks to an excellent reading by Ray Porter, or a feature-length episode of "Darknet Diaries" (without @jackrhysider). It's odd to hear some of the non-prose read, but funny as one recognises it, though not so funny as having the codes read sounding like backmasked messages opening a reverse shell to the brain.

A lot has changed since Kevin's adventures in the late 1980s and 1990s, but another lot... hasn't and its important lessons remain relevant.

Being read this so soon after Richard Feynman's "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" provided a strange insight into the different paths taken by two similar minds in different - but in many ways not so different - places and times.
