NSA's Cool Books You Can't Read

Someone has figured out how to find NSA publications in a list of government documents. Some of these look pretty enticing. William Gibson wants to read "NSA in the Cyberpunk Future: A Somewhat Educated Guess at Things to Come," and of course so does your humble Dragon.


"This is one of the first glimpses we have had into NSA's own library -- and it’s a safe bet there are some gems in there," said Secrecy News editor Steven Aftergood.
Titles include "NSA in the Cyberpunk Future: A Somewhat Educated Guess at Things to Come" (1996), "I Was a Cryptologic Corporal" (1983), "Inference and Cover Stories" (1993), "Handy-Dandy Field Site History: Fifty Years of Field Operations, 1945-1995," "The Fallacy of the One-Time-Pad Excuse" (1969), "Meteor Burst Communications: An Ignored Phenomenon?" (1990) and "KAL 007 Shootdown: A View From (redacted)".
