Review:
A book with the stories of notorious hackers like Kevin Mitnick, Robert T. Morris and the Chaos Computer Club. Sometimes maybe a somewhat tilted image of the persons, but a good read in general.

Review:
Bruce Sterling writes about the big law enforcement operations in the 1990s against the at that time active hacker-groups. It is interesting to re-read this book years later. Seeing what has changed in technology, and seeing that law enforcement has learned things about new technologies. Bruce describes very well what happened, from all sides (he interviewed the hackers, the cops involved, the lawyers and activists that stood up and other people). He admits at a certain point in the book that he has switched from being an observer to being actively involved.

Review:

Review:
As the founder of MIT's Media Lab and a popular columnist for Wired, Nicholas Negroponte has amassed a following of dedicated readers. Negroponte's fans will want to get a copy of Being Digital, which is an edited version of the 18 articles he wrote for Wired about "being digital." Negroponte's text is mostly a history of media technology rather than a set of predictions for future technologies. In the beginning, he describes the evolution of CD-ROMs, multimedia, hypermedia, HDTV (high-definition television), and more. The section on interfaces is informative, offering an up-to-date history on visual interfaces, graphics, virtual reality (VR), holograms, teleconferen... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
A humourous dictionary of computer terms with comments. A lot of the inside-joke variety so it's only funny to computer buffs
