bibliography

here are some other books you can read to help you understand the hacker
mindset.

go"del escher bach: an eternal golden braid
douglas hofstadter
basic books, 1979
isbn 0-394-74502-7

this book reads like an intellectual grand tour of hacker preoccupations.
music, mathematical logic, programming, speculations on the nature of
intelligence, biology, and zen are woven into a brilliant tapestry themed
on the concept of encoded self-reference. the perfect left-brain companion
to "illuminatus".

illuminatus
i.   "the eye in the pyramid"
ii.  "the golden apple"
iii. "leviathan".
robert shea and robert anton wilson
dell, 1988
isbn 0-440-53981-1

this work of alleged fiction is an incredible berserko-surrealist
rollercoaster of world-girdling conspiracies, intelligent dolphins, the
fall of atlantis, who really killed jfk, sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, and the
cosmic giggle factor. first published in three volumes, but there is now a
one-volume trade paperback, carried by most chain bookstores under sf. the
perfect right-brain companion to hofstadter's "go"del, escher, bach". see
eris, discordianism, random numbers, church of the subgenius.

the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
douglas adams
pocket books, 1981
isbn 0-671-46149-4

this `monty python in space' spoof of sf genre traditions has been
popular among hackers ever since the original british radio show. read it
if only to learn about vogons see bogon and the significance of the
number 42 see random numbers -- and why the winningest chess program of
1990 was called `deep thought'.

the tao of programming
james geoffrey
infobooks, 1987
isbn 0-931137-07-1

this gentle, funny spoof of the "tao te ching" contains much that is
illuminating about the hacker way of thought. "when you have learned to
snatch the error code from the trap frame, it will be time for you to
leave."

hackers
steven levy
anchor/doubleday 1984
isbn 0-385-19195-2

levy's book is at its best in describing the early mit hackers at the
model railroad club and the early days of the microcomputer revolution. he
never understood unix or the networks, though, and his enshrinement of
richard stallman as "the last true hacker" turns out thankfully to have
been quite misleading. despite being a bit dated and containing some minor
errors many fixed in the paperback edition, this remains a useful and
stimulating book that captures the feel of several important hacker
subcultures.

the computer contradictionary
stan kelly-bootle
mit press, 1995
isbn 0-262-61112-0

this pastiche of ambrose bierce's famous work is similar in format to the
jargon file and quotes several entries from tnhd-2 but somewhat different
in tone and intent. it is more satirical and less anthropological, and is
largely a product of the author's literate and quirky imagination. for
example, it defines `computer science' as "a study akin to numerology and
astrology, but lacking the precision of the former and the success of the
latter" and `implementation' as "the fruitless struggle by the talented and
underpaid to fulfill promises made by the rich and ignorant"; `flowchart'
becomes "to obfuscate a problem with esoteric cartoons". revised and
expanded from "the devil's dp dictionary", mcgraw-hill 1981, isbn
0-07-034022-6; that work had some stylistic influence on tnhd-1.

the devouring fungus: tales from the computer age
karla jennings
norton, 1990
isbn 0-393-30732-8

the author of this pioneering compendium knits together a great deal of
computer- and hacker-related folklore with good writing and a few
well-chosen cartoons. she has a keen eye for the human aspects of the lore
and is very good at illuminating the psychology and evolution of hackerdom.
unfortunately, a number of small errors and awkwardnesses suggest that she
didn't have the final manuscript checked over by a native speaker; the
glossary in the back is particularly embarrassing, and at least one classic
tale the magic switch story, retold here under a story about magic in
appendix a is given in incomplete and badly mangled form. nevertheless,
this book is a win overall and can be enjoyed by hacker and non-hacker
alike.

the soul of a new machine
tracy kidder
little, brown, 1981
paperback: avon, 1982
isbn 0-380-59931-7

this book a 1982 pulitzer prize winner documents the adventure of the
design of a new data general computer, the mv-8000 eagle. it is an
amazingly well-done portrait of the hacker mindset -- although largely the
hardware hacker -- done by a complete outsider. it is a bit thin in spots,
but with enough technical information to be entertaining to the serious
hacker while providing non-technical people a view of what day-to-day life
can be like -- the fun, the excitement, the disasters. during one period,
when the microcode and logic were glitching at the nanosecond level, one of
the overworked engineers departed the company, leaving behind a note on his
terminal as his letter of resignation: "i am going to a commune in vermont
and will deal with no unit of time shorter than a season."

life with unix a guide for everyone
don libes and sandy ressler
prentice-hall, 1989
isbn 0-13-536657-7

the authors of this book set out to tell you all the things about unix
that tutorials and technical books won't. the result is gossipy, funny,
opinionated, downright weird in spots, and invaluable. along the way they
expose you to enough of unix's history, folklore and humor to qualify as a
first-class source for these things. because so much of today's hackerdom
is involved with unix, this in turn illuminates many of its in-jokes and
preoccupations.

true names ... and other dangers
vernor vinge
baen books, 1987
isbn 0-671-65363-6

hacker demigod richard stallman used to say that the title story of this
book "expresses the spirit of hacking best". until the subject of the next
entry came out, it was hard to even nominate another contender. the other
stories in this collection are also fine work by an author who has since
won multiple hugos and is one of today's very best practitioners of hard
sf.

snow crash
neal stephenson
bantam, 1992
isbn 0-553-56261-4

stephenson's epic, comic cyberpunk novel is deeply knowing about the
hacker psychology and its foibles in a way no other author of fiction has
ever even approached. his imagination, his grasp of the relevant technical
details, and his ability to communicate the excitement of hacking and its
results are astonishing, delightful, and so far unsurpassed.

cyberpunk: outlaws and hackers on the computer frontier
katie hafner  john markoff
simon  schuster 1991
isbn 0-671-68322-5

this book gathers narratives about the careers of three notorious
crackers into a clear-eyed but sympathetic portrait of hackerdom's dark
side. the principals are kevin mitnick, "pengo" and "hagbard" of the chaos
computer club, and robert t. morris see rtm, sense 2 . markoff and
hafner focus as much on their psychologies and motivations as on the
details of their exploits, but don't slight the latter. the result is a
balanced and fascinating account, particularly useful when read immediately
before or after cliff stoll's the cuckoo's egg. it is especially
instructive to compare rtm, a true hacker who blundered, with the
sociopathic phone-freak mitnick and the alienated, drug-addled crackers who
made the chaos club notorious. the gulf between wizard and wannabee has
seldom been made more obvious.

technobabble
john barry
mit press 1991
isbn 0-262-02333-4

barry's book takes a critical and humorous look at the `technobabble' of
acronyms, neologisms, hyperbole, and metaphor spawned by the computer
industry. though he discusses some of the same mechanisms of jargon
formation that occur in hackish, most of what he chronicles is actually
suit-speak -- the obfuscatory language of press releases, marketroids, and
silicon valley ceos rather than the playful jargon of hackers most of whom
wouldn't be caught dead uttering the kind of pompous, passive-voiced word
salad he deplores.

the cuckoo's egg
clifford stoll
doubleday 1989
isbn 0-385-24946-2

   clifford stoll's absorbing tale of how he tracked markus hess and the
chaos club cracking ring nicely illustrates the difference between
`hacker' and `cracker'.  stoll's portrait of himself, his lady martha,
and his friends at berkeley and on the internet paints a marvelously
vivid picture of how hackers and the people around them like to live
and how they think.  ===================== the jargon file ends here
