Smashing Security Podcast is a great one, too. Less technical, more fun. Plus, they’re on Mastodon: @smashingsecurity@mastodon.green

1·3 years agoI work at a top-10 US bank. If you add our contractors, we have nearly 1000 people in the cyber org. I have 26 people in my direct report org and 235 in my dotted-line org. The 26 folks in my direct report org only do firewall policy changes.

I’m currently going through Niven’s work. I’d suggest The Mote in God’s Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir is also an amazing book if you haven’t read it yet.
One more suggestion: Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke
