By turns heartbreaking and hilarious, troubling and uplifting, these "electric" essays come together to create a provocative, conversation-sparking, multivocal portrait of modern America (The Washington Post).
From Trump's proposed border wall and travel ban to the marching of white supremacists in Charlottesville, America is consumed by tensions over immigration and the question of which bodies are welcome. In this much-anticipated follow-up to the bestselling UK edition, hailed by Zadie Smith as "lively and vital," editors Nikesh Shukla and Chimene Suleyman hand the microphone to an incredible range of writers whose humanity and right to be here is under attack.
  • Chigozie Obioma unpacks an Igbo proverb that helped him navigate his journey to America from Nigeria.
  • Jenny Zhang analyzes cultural appropriation in 90s fashion, recalling her own pain and confusion as a teenager trying to fit in.
  • Fatimah Asghar describes the flood of memory and emotion triggered by an encounter with an Uber driver from Kashmir.
  • Alexander Chee writes of a visit to Korea that changed his relationship to his heritage.

These writers, and the many others in this urgent collection, share powerful personal stories of living between cultures and languages while struggling to figure out who they are and where they belong.

Great Read, and Awesome Resource.
Format: Paperback
Great Book to give insight to the blue team side. It has some of that simple common sense stuff. But it takes that and puts it into a plan! Very deep insight into the importance of being prepared and explaining why. Also has some cool more advance advice to read up on. Gives command line examples of different parameters to use and shows the result you will get.

Great Resource to Have on hands for Security Analysts
Format: Paperback
Great Resource to Have on hands for Security Analysts. I have been using many of the techniques described in this book over the past few years but this book expanded on that knowledge a bit more than I was used to. It's great because it has all of the most common things one would typically run into on their day-to-day job as a security analyst. Not completely comprehensive but that's not the purpose of this book.

Great book
Format: Paperback
Nice companion to the RTFM. I have been in INFOSEC for a while and I found most of the book to be somewhat generic. My feelings may not apply to everyone else though. There seems to be an idea out there that everyone in INFOSEC sits around grepping Snort logs and/or TCP dumps; this simply is not the case. As an incident first responder the job is fairly straight forward: isolate and collect the logs. Everyone has their own methods I guess. Some OS'es require you leave the system connected before collecting logs this book does not cover that aspect. Not everyone can afford a SANS course so in that respect this condensed field guide is a plus+. Simply put; you cannot afford to not have this book. A must buy.
