Seen it and can recommend.  I also have the book.

My (utterly tenuous) tie-in with the events is that one of our
COMBOARD customers was impacted by the hacker's bouncing around
Tymenet and they changed how we had to log into their system to
diagnose and fix our product on their machines.  I asked why, they
said it was "that damn hacker and that damn book!"
