Also IMO it's best to avoid his fiction books, Zero Day etc. It's been about a decade since I read it, but it was the first book I've ever read where I felt uncomfortable with the level of detail the author went to when describing the breasts of every female character. The random awkward sex scenes thrown in for no reason was a weird choice.
Most importantly, there's also a complete lack of understanding of the underlying motivations behind both Islamic terror organizations, and cyber crime groups.
I love a ton of things that Mark has built, and I'm glad he's out living his best life. According to the Amazon reviews, a ton of people loved the book, but from my perspective Zero Day is a rare miss.
- weatherlite 4y agoPeople like breasts and random sex scenes though, see Game Of Thrones. He was trying to write for the average person I guess....
- dcow 4y agoActually fascinating. I had no idea. I'm curious if I'll have the same opinion as you after giving this one a read.
