  So my recent reads have included:

  Determined: the science of life without free will by Robert Salpolsky. I rate it 4/5

  The Art of Deception by Kevin Mitnick. I give it a 3/5

  Social Engineering: The science of Human Hacking by Chris Hadnagy. I rate it 2.5/5

  Influence: The psychology of persuasion by Robert Cialdini. I rate it 5/5

  I’m in the midst of reading…

  Thinking fast and slow, by Daniel Kahneman

  And the next in my queue is

  Likewar: The weaponisation of social media by Singer and Brooking.
