Evening Book Talk with Kevin Poulsen - Author of Kingpin March 7, 2011

On Monday, March 7, 2011, Kevin Poulsen will give a talk on his widely praised book, Kingpin (Release date: February 22).

Professor Jonathan Zittrain describes his book as "a vivid portrait of the major players in the latest wave of computer crime. Building on the best of the police procedural tradition, Kevin Poulsen lays out in clear language the technologies and methods employed by the criminals and crime fighters alike, all the while crafting a sympathetic character study of the conflicted gray hat, Max Vision, at the heart of it all."

Former hacker Kevin Poulsen has, over the past decade, built a reputation as one of the top investigative reporters on the cybercrime beat. In Kingpin, he pours his unmatched access and expertise into book form for the first time, delivering a gripping cat-and-mouse narrative—and an unprecedented view into the twenty-first century's
signature form of organized crime.
