I really enjoyed Ghost in the Wires. While his personality can really hit someone the wrong way, I found it really interesting. And what he says is true, he was pretty much the most famous computer hacker.

I was born in 1990 so when all of this was going on I was too young to remember or know anything about. Though I have asked my parents, who can't tell you one other computer hacker), and they remember the stuff on Kevin Mitnick. They remember hearing his name in the news constantly when his started and even remember reading the false accusations (though they didnt know it at the time) against him in the different articles Kevin mentions in his book.
