Exploring computer security as both a social and technical problem

Trade Review
"Johnston presents the ways antivirus workers think in fascinating detail. She is very astute and effective in analyzing and explicating the underlying assumptions of their logic. Technological Turf Wars is insightful, interesting, and it unfolds in ways that are quite surprising. Johnston demonstrates that this industry is as much a social world as it is a technical world."
—John L. Caughey, Professor of American Studies, University of Maryland, College Park
