Book Description

0470458534 978-0470458532 February 3, 2009 1
In response to popular demand, Emmanuel Goldstein (aka, Eric Corley) presents a spectacular collection of the hacker culture, known as 2600: The Hacker Quarterly, from a firsthand perspective. Offering a behind-the-scenes vantage point, this book provides devoted fans of 2600 a compilation of fascinating—and controversial—articles. Cult author and hacker Emmanuel Goldstein has collected some of the strongest, most interesting, and often provocative articles that chronicle milestone events and technology changes that have occurred over the last 24 years. He divulges author names who were formerly only known as “anonymous” but have agreed to have their identity revealed. The accompanying CD-ROM features the best episodes of Goldstein’s “Off the Hook” radio shows.

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

Editorial Reviews

Review

,.". "The Best of 2600: A Hacker Odyssey" is an important, amazing book that tells the story of these kids and adults as they explore a new frontier."
--John Baichtal ("Wired Blog," August, 2008)

From the Inside Flap

The hacker subculture — shrouded in mystery, spiced with a hint of glamour, and thoroughly misunderstood by those who don't belong — was revealed in the original edition of The Best of 2600: A Hacker Odyssey. The book became an instant bestseller. If you're a 2600 subscriber, a member of the hacker community, a geek freak, or simply a hardcore technology fan, you are not surprised. The Best of 2600: A Hacker Odyssey is a journey inside the hacker's world—indeed, inside the hacker's mind.

Since its birth in 1984, 2600: The Hacker Quarterly has published, sometimes anomymously, the discoveries and adventures of hackers worldwide. From the first curious and intrepid souls who discovered they could outwit Ma Bell to those who've hacked the Department of Defense and ParadisePoker.com, the people whose stories fill the pages of 2600 tell their experiences in this captivating book.

Now you can own a personal, numbered copy of this remarkable tour through 24 years of enduring exploits, creative controversy, and hackers who made history. Complete with a full-color poster showing every 2600 cover, a CD featuring the best of Emmanuel Goldstein's Off the Hook radio broadcasts, and credit given to all contributors, this one-of-a-kind Collector's Edition documents the experiences and experiments that have shaped technology.
