It strikes me that Kabbalah is a topic about which endless tomes could be written pertaining to the smallest minutiae.
What I appreciate about this book is that it includes some of the practical aspects of incorporating each sefira, and it was also very sensibly and straightforwardly written (as opposed to, say, The Way by Michael Berg, which is difficult to read).

I would actually give this 4.5 stars if I could. It is a thorough and complex look at Stuxnet and the issues surrounding cyber warfare that reads almost like a thriller. It goes into technical detail without getting too bogged down. It can be occasionally difficult to follow but that may be unavoidable given the subject. I think the author does a good job of considering the consequences of opening up this Pandora's Box.

A dense (but engrossing) read, this is about Stuxnet, the game-changing virus/worm that signalled the age of cyberwarfare.
Since this is a true story (and not based on one), it becomes a drudgery to wade through the 'boring' parts, but it is all made up for in the last third of the work, which details how the world landscape was changed irrevocably (for the worse) through trying to sabotage Iran's nuclear program.
TL;DR - reads like an expanded magazine article series, read if you can withstand factual writing which looks to be techno-babble, but don't read it if you want some sort of 'excitement' in your 'plot'.… (més)
