Publisher Synopsis
"One of the best books I've read this year is by a security technologist, Bruce Schneier. In Liars and Outliers, he sets out to investigate how trust works in society and in business, how it is betrayed and the degree to which technology changes all of that, for the better or the worse. Schneier absolutely understands how profoundly trust oils the wheels of business and of daily life." (Margaret Heffernan, CBS MoneyWatch ) "This book will appeal not only to customers interested in computer security but also on the idea of security and trust as a whole in society." ( The Bookseller , 16th December 2011) "This book should be read by anyone in a leadership role, whether they're in the corporate or political sphere... an easy read and the ideas and thoughts are profound." ( Naked Security , February 2012) "By concentrating on the human angle and packing the book with real world examples he has successfully stretched its appeal outside that of the security specialist to the more general reader." ( E & T Magazine , March 2012) Read more...
