Produktbeschreibung
This 25th anniversary edition of Steven Levy's classic book traces the exploits of the computer revolution's original hackers -- those brilliant and eccentric nerds from the late 1950s through the early '80s who took risks, bent the rules, and pushed the world in a radical new direction. With updated material from noteworthy hackers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Stallman, and Steve Wozniak, Hackers is a fascinating story that begins in early computer research labs and leads to the first home computers.

Levy profiles the imaginative brainiacs who found clever and unorthodox solutions to computer engineering problems. They had a shared sense of values, known as "the hacker ethic," that still thrives today. Hackers captures a seminal period in recent history when underground activities blazed a trail for today's digital world, from MIT students finagling access to clunky computer-card machines to the DIY culture that spawned the Altair and the Apple II.

Rezensionen
"Vor 25 Jahren erschien das 'Hacker-Buch' von Steven Levy. Es gilt als legendär - nicht zuletzt wegen der darin erstmals formulierten Regeln der 'Hacker-Ethik'. Sie äußerten den Wunsch nach umfassenden und ungeregeltem Umgang zu Computern - ja, nach allem, was die Welt erklären hilft, nach freien Informationen, dezentralen Strukturen, vorurteilsfreien Beurteilungen. Darin schwang die Hoffnung mit, Schönes, Künstlerisches und ein besseres Leben mit Hilfe von Computern schaffen zu können. Das Buch ist jetzt neu erschienen. Eine Ergänzung widmet sich den heutigen Interessen und und Erfahrungen der früheren Heroen." -- c't, November 2010.
