And second, because he is dealing with the underlying mathematical theory of computing, his text is blissfully free of brand-names and buzzwords.

As a result, devising new search algorithms requires extensive knowledge of computing theory, together with a keen biological intuition.

And practically every one of those computing instruments, in theory at least, is vulnerable to a frequently updated list of hacks and cracks that threaten your data, your privacy and even your personal well-being.
