Customer Reviews

An amusing document of that time when we thought there really would be a cyber subculture

And R. U. Sirious was going to be its prophet. Instead he was the profit. Anyhow, it's a funny book, and is cheap. No chance of a second edition. So come along and enjoy those delightful memories, cybersex, cyberpunk, l33t speak, and hackers meeting up (meating up?) with literary theorists.

We really thought "Cyber" was going to be something...

This book is a neat tribute, in a funny way, to the "Cyber" culture in mainly the cities and the expanding "Internet" in the early 90s. Still worth reading for all its inspirational stuff, taken with a realistic grain of salt.

good book

I am a hacker..A hacker gave me this book...I read it.. loved it....good informational book....also trySecrets of a super hacker by the knightmare

For wannabes and cybergurus alike

Light and humorous description of the computer underground. Totally the book to get if you are not so serious about hacking and cracking, but are mystified by this offbeat cyberculture. Hell, this book is also cool for a Master CyberPunk, so to bolster the stereotype. Learn how the typical cyberpunk dresses, what gadgets they buy, what terms they use, and even what food good lil cyberpunks like to eat. Piercings and extreme hairdos optional.

teehee

oh man, this book was great. very funny, and hey, if yr a lamer, it'll be a nice guide to faking being cool. a preppy handbook for the late 90s... buy it!
