Consider Countdown to Zero Day by Kim Zetter. Recommended by 1 sources.
“Kim Zetter reconstructs the discovery and aftermath of a targeted computer worm, threading narrative reporting with technical forensics to show how code produced physical sabotage. The book’s strongest asset is step-by-step investigative reporting that makes complex methods intelligible; it gives a clear sense of how digital intrusions become geopolitical tools. Limiting features: prolonged technical passages and many procedural detours slow the narrative, and readers looking for abstract moralizing or prescriptive policy prescriptions will find the book more descriptive than normative.”
