From the publisher

Schneier, the highly regarded author of APPLIED CRYPTOGRAPHY and SECRETS AND LIES, turns his iconoclastic mind on the broader issues of security, including the vast infrastructure we already have in place, and the vaster systems--some useful, others useless or worse--that we're being asked to submit to and pay for.

First line

In the wake of 9/11, many of us want to reinvent our ideas about security.
