Checked that date TWICE. It's reading right!CyberKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394155516712665665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980951139270141970.post-65638883477734157862017-06-10T15:17:55.140-05:002017-06-10T15:17:55.140-05:00It's very dated but interesting partially beca...It's very dated but interesting partially because of that. It's part of the fun of reading 'technical' books from decades gone by especially when they speculate about the 'future' that we've already lived through!CyberKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394155516712665665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980951139270141970.post-23814328282096959062017-06-10T14:20:31.301-05:002017-06-10T14:20:31.301-05:00Ooh, one from the eighties! :) Even better.

Part of the fun in this for me is learning about the early computer and internet culture, and -- as the books move forward -- remembering stuff from the 1990s.

Its really interesting to see how the present Hackers started off dumpster diving and phone phreaking even before computers as we know them came into existence. I suppose in a very general sense 'hackers' have existed as long as technology has - they're just called different things: Tinkerers for example. <br /><br />Oh, and I found another example for you:<br /><br />The Electronic Pirates - DIY Crime of the Century by John Chesterman and Andy Lipman (FP: 1988) CyberKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394155516712665665noreply@blogger.com
