Get an Acme Klein Bottle
Oh, yes, that is the documentary I watched. It was really great, getting to hear it from Mr. Stoll's mouth directly. He was much less enthusiastic than he tends to be in Numberphile videos, I imagine that might be down to the director of the film. It is available on YouTube if anyone cares to give it a watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcKxaq1FTac

The Cuckoo's Egg
"The book was chronicled in an episode of WGBH’s NOVA entitled “The KGB, the Computer, and Me”, which aired on PBS stations on October 3, 1990"I think it's this one:

Oh,me I'm ROFL: an actor is identical to one of X-Files "Lone Gunmen". When he explains the beeper to his wife I needed the oxygen. It's like "Doctor Who vs hackers" :-)
⬐ gabrielblackDebugging of networks with logic analyzer, counting round trip with the oscilloscope's divisions, what glorious times ! :-)

Olduse.net: a 30-year delayed Usenet feed (2013)
cliff stoll made an ... interesting movie of this book. its fun to watch and would probably make a good drinking game. : https://youtu.be/EcKxaq1FTac
⬐ RebelgeckoThanks for sharing— I was hooked after that insane 30 second intro. Having people play themselves definitely gives the recreations a certain charm.

Cutting a Klein Bottle in Half [video]
There's a one-hour long NOVA episode about that story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcKxaq1FTac
⬐ _qbwwThanks for sharing that. I had seen the Klein bottles under his workshop video awhile back, but I had no idea how deep this rabbit hole went.⬐ sabootI'm only three minutes in and I'm already loving this. Thanks for sharing

⬐ davidwI read and reread The Cuckoo's Egg back in the day. It's a classic, as far as I'm concerned.
