Amazon.com Review

A cookbook sure to please those whose refrigerators glow in the dark, Giga Bites is a romantic tour through the entrails of hacker culture, including the ins and outs of a Hacker Dinner Party; getting wired and staying wired; losing weight on a high-calorie diet; and new uses for Cheez Whiz. Put down that keyboard and break out the Butterfingers!

1.0 out of 5 stars It was just food recipes. Nothing interesting at all., October 2, 1999
By 
This review is from: Giga Bites: The Hacker Cookbook (Paperback)
It is food recipes only, nothing about breaking into computers. Not that I would ever do such a thing, I am a law abiding citizen that really loves my Government. I feel victim of a questionable marketing tactic. Waste of money.

From the title "GIGA BITES" (as in BITING, not BYTES) this book delivers what it promises... cooking recipes for the hacker way of life.
