Ok, I didn't come up with this, but I laughed:


Hackers: Hereos of the Computer Revolution
Steven Levy

Crackers and phrackers! Phreaks and geeks! War dialers, phone tone toot-whistles and classic BBS textfile collections!

All of it more retarded today than it's ever been. A wholly irrelevant compendium of what clumsy, fat kids do with their lives in between rounds of hard prison time.

Surprise: Puerto Ricans will stab you in the airport restroom and steal your long-distance calling card.

A veritable encyclopedia of everything already known. People, places and things which ceased to be interesting twenty years ago. Impotent like Clifford Stoll, timely as System 7. The book nobody will ever talk about.
