On a smaller scale: The Cyberthief and the Samurai (1996) is about Shimomura and Kevin Mitnick https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18163.The_Cyberthief_and...

The Cuckoo's Egg (1989) is about Clifford Stoll and a West German hacking for the KGB https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18154.The_Cuckoo_s_Egg

I highly recommend two...

Dark Wire - An insane story about the FBI setting up their own encrypted phone network and selling it to global crime syndicates.

Mastermind - The story of a 10-year-long quest to bring down Paul Le Roux, who went from crypto coder to drug lord to an insane global crime group. It is one of the craziest stories I've ever read. If you want to see how Bond villains form in real life this is it :)

Also, a lot of people have recommended "This is how they tell me the world ends" as well: https://shepherd.com/book/this-is-how-they-tell-me-the-world...

And I've been meaning to read Countdown to Zero Day about Stuxnet.

+1 Mastermind. A superb read. Will also lead to rabbit holes of research of the various people in the book. Many elaborate webs.

Tallinn Manual 2.0 on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Operations.

Not exactly a page turner, but if you are serious, it offers a solid legal understanding of cyber operations.

The Art and Science of Military Deception by Barton Whaley.

Again, somewhat dry but essential if you are serious about cyber warfare.

“This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends.” was refuted as being inaccurate by a lot of individuals in the infosec community.
