InfoSec News: Mind Games by Richard Thieme - Hacker Stories and Beyond: "The only way you can tell the truth," a friend at NSA said to Richard Thieme, "is through fiction" ...
"Mind Games," by Richard Thieme, is a unique collection of 19 stories of brave new worlds and alternate realities - stories of computer hackers, deception and intelligence, puzzling anomalies, spirituality and mysteries of consciousness, the paranormal, UFOs, alien life forms - in short, everyday life in the 21st century. All have been previously published in literary, slipstream, and science fiction magazines and anthologies but have not been available in a single collection - until now.
This first printing is beautifully illustrated and published by Duncan Long Publications and is available:

A few comments about Thieme's work:
"The depth, complexity, and texture of Richard Thieme's thought processes break the mold." Brian Snow, Senior Technical Director, NSA (ret)
"Thieme's ability to communicate complex, abstract concepts and personalize them is like verbal origami." - Jeff Moss, Director, Black Hat, a division of TechWeb/United Business Media, and a member of the DHS HSAC
"Silent Emergent, Doubly Dark" is ... very imaginative writing, with a complexity that raises [the story] to the fringes of slipstream. We're left wondering what's real and what's not ..." Steven Pirie, / The Future Fire/
"Beautiful descriptions and intriguing concepts ..." The Fix (UK).
"Thieme's clarity of thinking is refreshing, and his insights are profound." Bruce Schneier, security technologist and author.
"Buy this book!" -- Robert Morris, Sr. Chief Scientist, NSA (ret), holding up /Islands in the Clickstream /at the Black Hat Briefings/. /
"The reader is left reeling, dizzy with insight." Robin Roberts, Information Security R&D, CIA (ret)
"Richard Thieme takes us to the edge of cliffs we know are there but rarely visit. He wonderfully weaves life, mystery, and passion through digital and natural worlds with creativity and imagination. Delightful and deeply thought provoking reading." - Clint Brooks, former Senior Advisor for Homeland Security and Assistant Deputy Director, NSA
"In his writing and speeches, Thieme has never let me down. Always informative, relevant, unpredictable and thoroughly entertaining ... .one of the great thinkers of the cyber-world." - Larry Greenblatt, InterNetwork Defense
Richard Thieme has used his skills as a writer and speaker forever. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Richard taught literature and writing at the University of Illinois, was an Episcopal priest for sixteen years, and has since 1993 traveled the world as a professional speaker, enlightening audiences from Berlin to Brisbane, Amsterdam to Auckland, on the impacts of various technologies on human identity, spirituality/religion, and security and intelligence. He also speaks about creativity, reinventing ourselves, and biohacking, the porting of hacking skills to biotechnology. His landmark talk, "UFOlogy 101," illuminates a much-maligned domain. His pre-blog column, "Islands in the Clickstream," was distributed to thousands of subscribers in sixty countries before collection as a book by Syngress, a division of Elsevier. His work has been taught at universities in Europe, Australia, Canada, and the United States. He lives with his wife, Shirley, in Fox Point, Wisconsin and can be reached at www.thiemeworks.com
