The Art of InvisibilityKevin Mitnick
Real-world advice on how to be invisible online from "the FBI's most wanted hacker" ( Wired ). Be online without leaving a trace. Your every step online is being tracked and stored, and your identity literally stolen. Big companies and big governments want to know and exploit what you do, and privacy is a luxury few can afford or understand. In this explosive yet practical book, Kevin Mitnick uses true-life stories to show exactly what is happening without your knowledge, teaching you "the art of invisibility" -- online and real-world tactics to protect you and your family, using easy step-by-step instructions. Reading this book, you will learn everything from password protection and smart Wi-Fi usage to advanced techniques designed to maximize your anonymity. Kevin Mitnick knows exactly how vulnerabilities can be exploited and just what to do to prevent that from happening. The world's most famous -- and formerly the US government's most wanted -- computer hacker, he has hacked into some of the country's most powerful and seemingly impenetrable agencies and companies, and at one point was on a three-year run from the FBI. Now Mitnick is reformed and widely regarded as the expert on the subject of computer security. Invisibility isn't just for superheroes; privacy is a power you deserve and need in the age of Big Brother and Big Data. "Who better than Mitnick -- internationally wanted hacker turned Fortune 500 security consultant -- to teach you how to keep your data safe?" -- Esquire

Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You)Justin McElroy, Travis McElroy & Griffin McElroy
From the #1 New York Times bestselling McElroy Brothers, creators of the hit podcasts My Brother, My Brother and Me and The Adventure Zone, comes a helpful and hilarious how-to podcast guide covering everything you need to know to make, produce, edit, and promote a podcast…and get rich* doing it! (*Results not guaranteed.) Justin, Travis, and Griffin McElroy made their names as “advice giving brothers who have no business giving advice” (New York Times) on the hit podcast My Brother, My Brother and Me. But while they may not have the best relationship or workplace advice, they certainly make you laugh, and they do know a thing or two about podcasting. In fact, the McElroy Brothers have spent the last decade making podcasts, including My Brother, My Brother and Me; The Adventure Zone; Sawbones; and more. From their start, independently producing and releasing the early episodes of My Brother, My Brother and Me, to their eleven currently available podcasts, the McElroys have become experts in creating successful podcasts. And now, they want to share what they’ve learned with you. In Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You), the McElroy Brothers will walk you through the process of turning an idea into ear-candy for legions of fans, sharing their expertise on everything from deciding on an effective name (definitely not something like My Brother, My Brother and Me), what type of microphone to use (definitely not one from the video game Rock Band), to making lots and lots of money (spoiler: you probably won’t). A must-read for anyone interested in podcasting, Everybody Has a Podcast (Except You) shares the keys to success as well as the mistakes to avoid and draws on the vast experiences of three of the funniest and most successful podcasters working today. Part comedy writing guide, part technical manual, this book shares a decade of hard-won lessons on what to do—and what not to do—when you're ready to make your voice heard. Show Development: Learn how to find your unique concept, choose a name that isn’t a mouthful (like My Brother, My Brother and Me ), and structure your show for binge-listeners. Hardware on a Budget: Discover what microphones and podcast software actually matter—and what to avoid—without breaking the bank. (Hint: Put down the Rock Band mic.) Recording and Postproduction: Practical, non-technical tips for recording clean audio, editing out the boring parts, and making your final product sound professional, even if you’re a total beginner. Finding Your Listeners: Move beyond shouting into the void with actionable advice on how to promote your show, connect with your first fans, and build a real community. Make Money Podcasting: A refreshingly honest look at the world of podcast advertising, crowdfunding, and merch. (*Spoiler: you probably won’t get rich, but you can cover your costs.*)

ObfuscationFinn Brunton & Helen Nissenbaum
How we can evade, protest, and sabotage today's pervasive digital surveillance by deploying more data, not less—and why we should. With Obfuscation , Finn Brunton and Helen Nissenbaum mean to start a revolution. They are calling us not to the barricades but to our computers, offering us ways to fight today's pervasive digital surveillance—the collection of our data by governments, corporations, advertisers, and hackers. To the toolkit of privacy protecting techniques and projects, they propose adding obfuscation: the deliberate use of ambiguous, confusing, or misleading information to interfere with surveillance and data collection projects. Brunton and Nissenbaum provide tools and a rationale for evasion, noncompliance, refusal, even sabotage—especially for average users, those of us not in a position to opt out or exert control over data about ourselves. Obfuscation will teach users to push back, software developers to keep their user data safe, and policy makers to gather data without misusing it. Brunton and Nissenbaum present a guide to the forms and formats that obfuscation has taken and explain how to craft its implementation to suit the goal and the adversary. They describe a series of historical and contemporary examples, including radar chaff deployed by World War II pilots, Twitter bots that hobbled the social media strategy of popular protest movements, and software that can camouflage users' search queries and stymie online advertising. They go on to consider obfuscation in more general terms, discussing why obfuscation is necessary, whether it is justified, how it works, and how it can be integrated with other privacy practices and technologies.

Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right NowJaron Lanier
AS SEEN IN THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY THE SOCIAL DILEMMA A WIRED " ALL-TIME FAVORITE BOOK" A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK "THE CONSCIENCE OF SILICON VALLEY"- GQ “Profound . . . Lanier shows the tactical value of appealing to the conscience of the individual. In the face of his earnest argument, I felt a piercing shame about my own presence on Facebook. I heeded his plea and deleted my account.” - Franklin Foer, The New York Times Book Review “Mixes prophetic wisdom with a simple practicality . . . Essential reading.” - The New York Times (Summer Reading Preview) You might have trouble imagining life without your social media accounts, but virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier insists that we’re better off without them. In Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now , Lanier, who participates in no social media, offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to leave these dangerous online platforms. Lanier’s reasons for freeing ourselves from social media’s poisonous grip include its tendency to bring out the worst in us, to make politics terrifying, to trick us with illusions of popularity and success, to twist our relationship with the truth, to disconnect us from other people even as we are more “connected” than ever, to rob us of our free will with relentless targeted ads. How can we remain autonomous in a world where we are under continual surveillance and are constantly being prodded by algorithms run by some of the richest corporations in history that have no way of making money other than being paid to manipulate our behavior? How could the benefits of social media possibly outweigh the catastrophic losses to our personal dignity, happiness, and freedom? Lanier remains a tech optimist, so while demonstrating the evil that rules social media business models today, he also envisions a humanistic setting for social networking that can direct us toward a richer and fuller way of living and connecting with our world.

Mastering Claude CoworkMichael Kral
Mastering Claude Cowork: The Definitive Guidebook for Agentic Knowledge Work You didn't get into your career to rename files, chase down data, or spend Friday afternoon assembling the same weekly report for the forty-seventh time. But that's where the hours go — buried in the mechanical work that sits between you and the work that actually matters. Claude Cowork changes that equation. It reads your files, connects to your tools, and delivers finished work to your desktop. Not drafts. Not suggestions. Finished, formatted, ready-to-send deliverables. And it does it while you're on a call, walking the dog, or drinking your morning coffee. This book shows you exactly how to make that real. Mastering Claude Cowork takes you from "what is this thing?" to a fully automated personal operating system — scheduled workflows producing executive-grade outputs before you sit down at your desk each morning. No coding required. No technical background assumed. Just a clear, progressive path from your first task to complete operational leverage. You'll learn how to organize your files so Claude gets smarter with every session. Connect your existing tools — Slack, Salesforce, Google Workspace, and fifty others — so Claude works where you already work. Assign tasks from your phone while your computer handles execution. Set up scheduled automations that deliver morning briefings, pipeline dashboards, competitive intelligence, and weekly reports without you lifting a finger. And build reusable skills and plugins that encode how you work — your standards, your formats, your judgment — so every output reflects your quality bar, not a generic AI's. Five complete project walkthroughs show the full system in action: contract analysis, territory planning, strategic briefings, financial pipelines, and client proposals. Dedicated chapters cover what to do when things go wrong, how to manage your usage budget, and how to roll Cowork out across a team or organization responsibly. The appendices give you everything you need to start fast: a connector directory, a plugin guide, eight copy-ready templates, a troubleshooting reference, a glossary, and a one-page quick-start card designed to sit next to your keyboard. The people who build their agentic systems now will spend the next year compounding their advantage. Everyone else will spend it catching up. This book puts you in the first group. First Edition · March 2026 · 12 Chapters · 5 Appendices · Quick-Start Card Included

The Digital Photography BookScott Kelby
Scott Kelby, the man who changed the ""digital darkroom"" forever with his groundbreaking, #1 bestselling, award-winning book The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, now tackles the most important side of digital photography--how to take pro-quality shots using the same tricks today's top digital pros use (and it's easier than you'd think). This entire book is written with a brilliant premise, and here’s how Scott describes it: ""If you and I were out on a shoot, and you asked me, 'Hey, how do I get this flower to be in focus, but I want the background out of focus?' I wouldn't stand there and give you a lecture about aperture, exposure, and depth of field. In real life, I'd just say, 'Get out your telephoto lens, set your f/stop to f/2.8, focus on the flower, and fire away.' You d say, 'OK,' and you'd get the shot. That's what this book is all about. A book of you and I shooting, and I answer the questions, give you advice, and share the secrets I've learned just like I would with a friend, without all the technical explanations and without all the techno-photo-speak."" This isn't a book of theory—it isn't full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts: this is a book of which button to push, which setting to use, when to use them, and nearly two hundred of the most closely guarded photographic ""tricks of the trade"" to get you shooting dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos with your digital camera every time you press the shutter button. Here's another thing that makes this book different: each page covers just one trick, just one single concept that makes your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you'll learn another pro setting, another pro tool, another pro trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. There's never been a book like it, and if you're tired of taking shots that look ""OK,"" and if you’re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, ""Why don't my shots look like that?"" then this is the book for you.

The AI Governance PlaybookAzhar ul Haque Sario
Forget the hype and the hypotheticals; the biggest threat from artificial intelligence isn't a distant sci-fi scenario—it's the immediate, tangible risk of ungoverned AI already operating inside your business. This is The AI Governance Playbook, your essential guide to navigating the most critical business challenge of the 21st century. As organizations rush to deploy AI, they're stepping into a minefield of financial, legal, and reputational risks. We've all seen the headlines: a single chatbot error erasing $100 billion in shareholder value, biased algorithms leading to legal nightmares, and a staggering 42% of AI projects failing outright, not because of faulty tech, but due to a catastrophic lack of governance. This book cuts through the noise to provide a clear, actionable framework for leaders who need to turn this risk into a decisive competitive advantage. This playbook is your step-by-step guide to mastering AI governance. It demystifies the technology without a single line of code, using simple analogies to explain complex concepts like LLMs and the AI data pipeline. You'll learn how to build a modern AI governance team, from the Chief AI Officer to the AI Ethicist, and understand why these roles command a 56% wage premium in today's market. We'll walk through the globally recognized NIST AI Risk Management Framework, showing you how to adapt it to your existing business processes. You'll get practical tools like model cards and AI risk registers to ensure transparency and manage the "black box" problem. We explore how to navigate the complex global legal landscape, from the EU AI Act to the patchwork of US state laws, and provide a harmonized approach to compliance. Most importantly, you'll discover how to create a culture of responsible AI use, manage the human side of change, and communicate AI risk and ROI effectively to your board. Finally, we'll show you how to leverage your commitment to AI ethics as a powerful brand differentiator, winning customer trust in an increasingly skeptical world. What sets The AI Governance Playbook apart is its relentless focus on practical application and strategic value, designed specifically for business leaders, not just technologists. While other books get lost in abstract ethical debates or dense technical jargon, this playbook provides a clear, actionable framework grounded in the business realities of 2025. It moves beyond the "what" and "why" to deliver the "how": how to integrate AI risk into existing ERM frameworks like COSO, how to apply a change management model like ADKAR to ensure employee adoption, and how to calculate the tangible ROI of your governance program. It speaks the language of the C-suite, providing dashboard templates and communication strategies to translate technical risk into business impact. This isn't just another book about AI; it's a leader's guide to survival and success in the AI era, turning governance from a perceived cost center into your greatest strategic asset.

Cult of the Dead CowJoseph Menn
The shocking untold story of the elite secret society of hackers fighting to protect our freedom, “a hugely important piece of the puzzle for anyone who wants to understand the forces shaping the internet age” ( The New York Times Book Review ) Cult of the Dead Cow is the tale of the oldest active, most respected, and most famous American hacking group of all time. With its origins in the earliest days of the internet, the cDc is full of oddball characters – activists, artists, and musicians – some of whom went on to advise presidents, cabinet members, and CEOs, and who now walk the corridors of power in Washington and Silicon Valley. Today, the group and its followers are battling electoral misinformation, making personal data safer, and organizing to keep technology a force for good instead of for surveillance and oppression. Cult of the Dead Cow describes how, at a time when governments, corporations, and criminals hold immense power, a small band of tech iconoclasts is on our side fighting back.

Rocket Surgery Made EasySteve Krug
It's been known for years that usability testing can dramatically improve products. But with a typical price tag of $5,000 to $10,000 for a usability consultant to conduct each round of tests, it rarely happens. In this how-to companion to Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability , Steve Krug spells out a streamlined approach to usability testing that anyone can easily apply to their own Web site, application, or other product. (As he said in Don't Make Me Think , "It's not rocket surgery".) Using practical advice, plenty of illustrations, and his trademark humor, Steve explains how to: Test any design, from a sketch on a napkin to a fully-functioning Web site or application Keep your focus on finding the most important problems (because no one has the time or resources to fix them all) Fix the problems that you find, using his "The least you can do" approach By paring the process of testing and fixing products down to its essentials ("A morning a month, that's all we ask"), Rocket Surgery makes it realistic for teams to test early and often, catching problems while it's still easy to fix them. Rocket Surgery Made Easy adds demonstration videos to the proven mix of clear writing, before-and-after examples, witty illustrations, and practical advice that made Don't Make Me Think so popular.
