I really enjoyed this book. If you are not into technology, you might be a bit intimidated. While the author explains what alphabet soup tech short hand the first time used, thereafter only initials are used and I fear if you do h=not have a lifetime of working in tech you could become lost easily. But if you are ok with (especially) the current world of internet/communications and speaking in initials, this is a good one to read quickly. If you are at least able to interpret if not understand SMS, MCS, MVEDRV RIFD, EPC Gen2 RFID, Cripto1, TDOA and NFC and if you know about C3 and Black Hat events this is a book for you. Even if you don't but would like a quick view into this world this book will be very thought provoking.
