From Wikipedia, we learn that Russinovich has a Ph.D. According to his Microsoft page, Russinovich is a "Technical Fellow in the Windows Azure group at Microsoft working on Microsoft’s datacenter operating system". He is the author, after all, of books with titles such as Windows Internals, Part 1: Covering Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 and Windows Sysinternals Administrator's Reference. ![]() One reason that I liked Zero Day is because its author, Mark Russinovich, is better at the tech stuff than the thriller bits. Nowhere near as good as Neal Stephenson ( Reamde, Cryptonomicon, etc.) or William Gibson ( Zero History, Spook Country, Pattern Recognition among others), but perfectly enjoyable packets of reading pleasure. Think more Daniel Suarez ( Daemon, Freedom) than Robert Harris ( Fear Index). ![]() ![]() Zero Day certainly does not qualify as fine literature, or even great suspense writing. Having discovered this genre, I'd like to ask for you help in finding new books to read. Zero Day is a terrific beach book (or whatever the winter February school vacation equivalent is, the time period in which I interfaced with the book). The techno thriller is fast becoming one of my preferred fiction genres. ![]()
