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.

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.

Dated but funny!
LOL.
It's a little dated by now, but still very funny. A good book to have to show the grandkids what hacker life was like in the 90's.

Funny, but outdated
This book is a perfect satire of Cyberpunk literature and film and the Goth/Industrial/Raver scenesters that cling to it. Read more

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. Read more

"Warning! This is not serious!" --Kurt Harland
