    In Hack to the Future: How World Governments Relentlessly Pursue and Domesticate Hackers, veteran information security professional Emily Crose delivers a deep dive into the history of the United States government's nuanced relationship with hacker culture and the role the latter has played in the former's domestic policy and geopolitics. In the book, you'll learn about significant events that have changed the way the hacking community has been perceived by the public, the state, and other hackers. 
     
     
     
    The author explains how the US government managed to weaponize a subculture widely seen as misanthropic and awkward into a lever of geopolitical power. You'll also discover how the release of the Morris worm and the Melissa virus changed the way hackers were seen and treated in the United States; how different government agencies, including the National Security Agency and NASA, treated—and were treated by—domestic hackers; and how hacking went from being an exclusive hobby for socially awkward nerds to a substantial lever of geopolitical power in just a few decades. 
     
     
     
    Perfect for anyone with an interest in hacking, tech, infosec, and geopolitics, Hack to the Future is a must-listen for those who seek to better their understanding of the history of hacking culture and how we got to where we are today.

    As a healthcare provider, do you feel frustrated and fatigued with an impersonal, administrative-heavy system where you don’t feel your opinion matters? Do you feel powerless to effect change? You’re not alone! Provider burnout is rampant due to bureaucratic overload, long work hours, and the lack of community, respect, and autonomy at work. But these issues can be addressed without significant expense or a major system overhaul. Dr. John McB. Hodgson’s approach to healthcare change re-empowers healthcare providers to do what they love to do—care for patients, solve problems, and influence the delivery system. In Healing the System, Dr. Hodgson draws on his experience as a seasoned cardiologist to suggest easy-to-implement changes that healthcare providers and administrators can make to combat the increasingly dysfunctional environment typical of current practice. These simple changes can bring a sense of fulfillment, joy, and satisfaction back to the practice of medicine, and the entire system will be energized. Hodgson’s solutions includegetting back to missional purpose, rather than focusing solely on the numbers;empowering teams and community;encouraging equity in the place where providers practice;involving providers in administrative functions and decision making; andhonoring one another, no matter the position or the department.The message in this book encourages physicians and other healthcare delivery professionals to create an environment and culture in which everyone can thrive.
