Liars and Outliers: Enabling the Trust That Society Needs to Thrive Bruce Schneier
Publisher: Wiley, John & Sons, Incorporated

Every cooperative system contains parasites. How do we ensure that society's parasites don't destroy society's systems? BRUCE SCHNEIER: My big idea is a big question. It's not every day that a security guru talks about theories of coercion and explains how society establishes and maintains trust – that's about society, not components in an IT system! We don't demand a background check on the plumber who shows up to fix the leaky sink. Bruce Schneier wrote Liars and Outliers to explain the way trust works in a society, why most people follow the rules, and how those who don't are needed but must be kept within reasonable limits. Penalties must be consistent, fair, efficient, and relatively cheap; Group must be enabled to develop its own institutional pressure – not imposed from without; Larger groups need to be scaled and nested in layers, each operating along the same lines. Bruce Schneier's new book, Liars & Outliers, is subtitled "Enabling the trust that society needs to thrive", and the word 'society' is key here. I managed to snag an early copy of Bruce Schneier's new book, Liars & Outliers: Enabling the Trust that Society Needs to Thrive. The Liars and Outliers Construct . By Bruce Schneier Wiley, $24.95, 384 pages. We don't do a chemical analysis on food we eat. Бумажная книга "Liars and outliers" американского эксперта по компьютерной безопасности Брюса Шнайера лежит у меня дома с собственноручным автографом автора "to Petr" ;-). It's a bit different from the books you normally see reviewed on development blogs.
