The title above is the name of a book by Bruce Schneier, well known author and commentator on the field of security.

I just listened to a podcast of an interview with him on ITConversations.com which was quite interesting. Bruce has evolved from being a cryptography expert to a network security expert, now to a security generalist. He has some great insights and analogies for security problems. I haven’t read the book, but intend to.

Update: As of November 2008, I still haven't read the book. I do listen to Bruce Schneier's podcasts. I don't always agree with him, and I think he has some biases. But he does raise interesting issues that should be discussed.
