A HACKERS MIND - BRUCE SCHNEIER GEBUNDEN

A hack is any means of subverting a system's rules in unintended ways. The tax code isn't
computer code  but a series of complex formulas. It has vulnerabilities  we call them
"loopholes." We call exploits "tax avoidance strategies." And there is an entire industry of
"black hat" hackers intent on finding exploitable loopholes in the tax code. We call them
accountants and tax attorneys.   In A Hacker's Mind   Bruce Schneier takes hacking out of the
world of computing and uses it to analyse the systems that underpin our society: from tax laws
to financial markets to politics. He reveals an array of powerful actors whose hacks bend our
economic  political and legal systems to their advantage  at the expense of everyone else.  
Once you learn how to notice hacks  you'll start seeing them everywhere-and you'll never look
at the world the same way again. Almost all systems have loopholes  and this is by design.
Because if you can take advantage of them  the rules no longer apply to you.   Unchecked  these
hacks threaten to upend our financial markets  weaken our democracy and even affect the way we
think. And when artificial intelligence starts thinking like a hacker-at inhuman speed and
scale-the results could be catastrophic.   But for those who would don the "white hat " we can
understand the hacking mindset and rebuild our economic  political and legal systems to counter
those who would exploit our society. And we can harness artificial intelligence to improve
existing systems  predict and defend against hacks and realise a more equitable world.
