Our post regarding Top 10 movies with a Cybercrime theme got a lot of positive feedback so we decided to make a similar blog post and hope some will be inspired.
This time we have a small list of only 3 books (they usually take longer to finish than a movie). These books are for those that are interested in technology and an engaging book that keeps you thinknig. These books are highly recommended from some of the SPAMfighter employees.

In this new edition we get brand new material from hacker celebrities such as Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft), Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook) and Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple).
