Summary
A world of "smart" devices means the Internet can kill people. We need to act. Now.
Everything is a computer. Ovens are computers that make things hot; refrigerators are computers that keep things cold. These computers - from home thermostats to chemical plants - are all online. The Internet, once a virtual abstraction, can now sense and touch the physical world.
As we open our lives to this future, often called the Internet of Things, we are beginning to see its enormous potential in ideas like driverless cars, smart cities, and personal agents equipped with their own behavioral algorithms. But every knife cuts two ways.
All computers can be hacked. And Internet-connected computers are the most vulnerable. Forget data theft: Cutting-edge digital attackers can now crash your car, your pacemaker, and the nation’s power grid. In Click Here to Kill Everybody, renowned expert and best-selling author Bruce Schneier examines the hidden risks of this new reality.
After exploring the full implications of a world populated by hyperconnected devices, Schneier reveals the hidden web of technical, political, and market forces that underpin the pervasive insecurities of today. He then offers common-sense choices for companies, governments, and individuals that can allow us to enjoy the benefits of this omnipotent age without falling prey to its vulnerabilities.
From principles for a more resilient Internet of Things to a recipe for sane government regulation and oversight to a better way to understand a truly new environment, Schneier’s vision is required listening for anyone invested in human flourishing.

An accessible and timely wake-up
A must read/listen for anyone in the technology, policy or security spaces - especially those in the overlaps.

Great eye opener
This title is a great eye opener to a lot of considerations in the cyber/data privacy space.
Of the titles in my library, this book is one that I keep on loop and every time I hear it again I learn something I missed the previous time, this is one of the reasons I gave it a 5 star rate.

Equal parts technology and public policy.
Bruce Schneier is great and I love his work, the book is interesting however not quite what I expected. The first half is a good survey of the current security situation and the challenges we face, the second half talks about how we can change that through governance and public policy. My slight disappointment is that I'd hoped perhaps for more depth in the technology rather than diving into policy and law. It's not that I lack interest in the latter either, more that I'd like to read something about privacy law that also goes deeper in that area too.

really informative
first half is brilliant , not as good when it comes to the policy suggestions but that's more a reflection of my interest than the material itself

Good diagnosis
Good diagnosis of the problems but the solutions proposed, massive government regulation, will not work as they will become politicised and manipulated. But the awareness of the problems the author brings is undoubtedly positive and overdue.

this should be required reading
explains fairly clearly and sanely the issues associated with computers and security. if you don't know or understand at least the points in this book, you can't have a good opinion on public computer security policy

Nice and informative
Nice and informative without too many surprises. Some great ideas for the future of the internet.
My only issue was the extensive lists that don't really work in audiobook format.
