Demonized by governments and the media as criminals, glorified within their own subculture
as outlaws, hackers have played a major role in the short history of computers and
digital culture-and have continually defied our assumptions about technology and secrecy
through both legal and illicit means. In Hacker Culture, Douglas Thomas provides an
in-depth history of this important and fascinating subculture, contrasting mainstream
images of hackers with a detailed firsthand account of the computer underground. Addressing
such issues as the commodification of the hacker ethos by Silicon Valley entrepreneurs,
the high-profile arrests of prominent hackers, and conflicting self-images among hackers
themselves, Thomas finds that popular hacker stereotypes reflect the public's anxieties
about the information age far more than they do the reality of hacking
