If you like this then you will probably like "The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage", a 1989 book by Clifford Stoll. Also available as audiobook, and a documentary ("The KGB, The computer and Me"). ▶ this video
His NOVA episode on the same subject is worth a watch as well ▶ this video I think most younger readers will be familiar through his videos on the Numberphile YouTube channel.
Here here. I love Cliff and have my own Acme Klein bottle, a wedding present from my wife. I read the book ages ago of course, but I just discovered the NOVA documentary last week. It's quite amazing to see the original people involved recreating events just a few years after they took place (docu was released in 1990). So... I can't believe Cliff's wife agreed to do a shower scene as part of a recreation for the documentary... Just sayin. ▶ this video
