Let’s sidebar back to some cool hacking stuff for you Mesh fans – listen to the Darknet Diaries. I started yesterday and I’m already enthralled. These stories are EXACTLY the kind of thing that inspired me to write Mesh and it’s happening all right now in real time!
Here’s an example: Remember that scene in Sneakers where Robert Redford, River Phoenix, and Sidney Poitier are hired to rob a bank to test its security? Jason is a guy who does this for a living. You can listen to Jason tell the story of the time he accidentally robbed the wrong bank. It’s a hysterical story and it’s all completely true – it’s a great way to start digging into the weird, wild world of Darknet Diaries:

Anyone who’s read Inkican knows I’ve catalogued some stories about the importance of computer hacking but it’s not my main focus. Yet, I’ve been a fan of techno-derring-do stories for over thirty years, so I’m glad a podcast like this exists both as inspiration and for entertainment. I’ll keep coming back for more, and if you’re into computer hacking, you should, too.
