Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Jonathan Davis nails his role here, delivering a performance that's both authoritative and deeply empathetic. His portrayal of the cult’s members makes them feel real and relatable, even as their actions are radical and complex. The pacing is brisk but never rushed, allowing each story element to breathe and resonate. Menn’s narrative weaves through decades of hacking history with impressive clarity, but there's a gap where more context on the technical details could help listeners fully grasp the depth of these exploits. Overall, 'Cult of the Dead Cow' is a gripping listen that will captivate anyone interested in the origins of modern cybersecurity and activism.
