It's really sad to read the 25th anniversary edition with the 2010 addendum to see it go from homebrew computer club to facebook. I wish the addendum was more upbeat but I guess it faithfully represents the reality. The consumers remained just that and the software running on their devices is made by corporations like Microsoft. The revolution happened differently to how the original hackers imagined it would but it's not over yet. It lives on in FSF and open source software. (  ) Paul_S | Dec 23, 2020 | Liked: fascinating and often obscure historical anecdotes, putting the free software movement/hacker ethos in context by examining their roots, evenhanded look at hacker politics Disliked: rampant casual sexism and exclusion of women from the canon (sadly this is so standard it barely bothered me, aside from the part where one of the male hackers muses that the dearth of women in their exclusive, sexist clique must be because of inferior female biology and the author just kinda lets it go), lackluster explanation of Stallman's philosophy in appendix ( ) pnppl | May 20, 2020 | good start but stopped after 2/3. (  ) andreas.wpv | Mar 31, 2016 | This is a book for those interested in the early years of computer development. I enjoyed taking a trip down memory lane to that time when computers were largely over-sized pet rocks. What makes the book work, in one respect, is Levy's explanation of the MIT students' obsession with out-doing one another when writing codes for programs. Hackers covers a good swath of the early development of computers and serves well as a testament to a new breed of logical thinkers -thinkers with a tool to help them unlock their abilities beyond the theoretical.
