However, he’s best known for his 2007 book “Geekonomics,” in which he argued that software is a new kind of public infrastructure that when built badly amounts to a public hazard, and those who buy it become virtual crash test dummies who have to suffer with a software industry that is unaccountable for the results. Rice is one of the key figures shaping the discussion and practice of cyber security at Apple.
