Non-fiction audio books for the hacker type

[bcg at struxural.com (Ben Greenfield)]

This may stir the political pot some, but Takedown by John Markoff and
Tsutomu Shimomura is an outstanding read as well.  In my opinion it's
really the next logical step after The Hacker Crackdown by Bruce
Sterling (which is required reading IMO).

For those unaware, Takedown is the story of how Kevin Mitnick landed
in jail for 4.5 years pre-trial (including 8 months of solitary, poor
guy).

http://www.amazon.com/Takedown-Pursuit-Americas-Computer-Outlaw/dp/0786889136/ref=sr_1_2/175-2033259-5615024?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1273764168&sr=1-2

I don't actually know if it's available as an audio book or not.  The
Code Book by Simon Singh is also great reading, but it's all about
cryptography.
