He mentioned he'll be returning these to the JPL library soon (so you propeller-heads can check out the copy next...) and I suspect these may be available at the Caltech library as well.

Per Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/Stealing-Network-How-Own-Box/dp/1931836876/
 
[both list at about $50; on sale in the low 30's]

I´m part of another list where I just saw this. If you´re into sci-fi books, graphic novels & even wallpapers of cover art (which are super dope), hurry up & grab ´em.
Tor´s making them available only until this Sunday 7/27/08. There´s various formats available including Mobi!
