Cyberpunk
Author(s): Katie Hafner
Using the exploits of three international hackers, Cyberpunk provides a fascinating tour of a bizarre subculture populated by outlaws who penetrate even the most sensitive computer networks and wreak havoc on the information they find -- everything from bank accounts to military secrets. In a book filled with as much adventure as any Ludlum novel, the authors show what motivates these young hackers to access systems, how they learn to break in, and how little can be done to stop them.
Review(s):
Cliff Stoll Author of The Cuckoo's Egg An astonishing story [whose] trail leads across modems...as well as police blotters in America and Germany. This is the computing underground, our high-tech counterculture.
Los Angeles Times Book Review An engrossing, valuable work.
PC Magazine Riveting...an important chronicle of what is happening on the edge of the information age.
