The Nigerian prince eager to fork over his inheritance, the family friend stranded unexpectedly in Norway, the lonely Russian beauty looking for love... they spam our inboxes with their hapless pleas for help, money, and our social security numbers. In Dot Con, Veitch finally answers the question: what would happen if you replied?Suspicious emails pop up in our inboxes and our first instinct is to delete them unopened. But what if you responded to the deposed princess begging for money in your Gmail?

The Idealist
By Peters, Justin
In Januay, Aaron Swartz, the 26-year-old co-founder of Reddit and Internet entrepreneur, committed suicide. Hed been pursued by the Department of Justice for two years, and had been charged in 2011 for downloading millions of documents from the online database JSTOR, using MITs computer network. Slates Justin Peters profiles Swartz: "He was a programmer who resisted the description, a dot-com millionaire who lived in a rented one-room studio. He could be a troublesome collaborator but an effective troubleshooter. He had a talent for making powerful friends, and for driving them away. He had scores of interests, and he indulged them all."Swartz grew up in a wealthy suburb of Chicago, a precocious child who could read at age 3 and was building websites before he reached his teens. He launched "The Info Network," an encyclopedia that anyone could edit, months before Wikipedia launched in 2001.What drove him throughout his accomplished career was sharing information. He joined a working group that helped develop a version of RSS. He helped launch Creative Commons at the age of 14.As Peters writes, "When you kill yourself, you forfeit the right to control your own story. At rallies, on message boards, and in media coverage, you will hear that Swartz was felled by depression, or that he got caught in a political battle, or that he was a victim of a vindictive state." The debate over what led Swartz to hang himself wont end soon, but Peters sheds light on a young man who accomplished so many things in a short time.

Cyberinsurance Policy
By Wolff, Josephine
Why cyberinsurance has not improved cybersecurity and what governments can do to make it a more effective tool for cyber risk management.As cybersecurity incidents - ranging from data breaches and denial-of-service attacks to computer fraud and ransomware - become more common, a cyberinsurance industry has emerged to provide coverage for any resulting liability, business interruption, extortion payments, regulatory fines, or repairs. In this book, Josephine Wolff offers the first comprehensive history of cyberinsurance, from the early "Internet Security Liability" policies in the late 1990s to the expansive coverage offered today. Drawing on legal records, government reports, cyberinsurance policies, and interviews with regulators and insurers, Wolff finds that cyberinsurance has not improved cybersecurity or reduced cyber risks.

Get impressed!
By Shaoqiang, Wang
Letterpress, a Chinese invention from the 10th century consisting in movable types and later adopted in the western hemisphere about 1440, forever changed the face of communication and the speed in which information could be passed along from person to person. It gave birth to the "press." Today letterpress is in revival and widely used in books, posters, bespoke stationery like invitations, name cards, letterheads and so on. Letterpress designers like Alan Kitching or Jesus Morentin crave out their names in the computer-generated design world with beautiful-composed types. This book introduces the history and the process of letterpress printing and includes a list of classic movable types arranged in style order. The volume also includes letterpress designers, artists, type foundries, institutions, or even museums from all over the world, each with an elaborated biography and exclusive interviews with the most relevant professionals in this area.
