{"product_id":"hacker-culture-douglas-thomas-9780816633463","title":"Hacker Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouglas Thomas offers an in-depth history of this important and fascinating subculture, contrasting mainstream images of hackers with a detailed firsthand account of the computer underground. Thomas studies novels and films (\u003ci\u003eNeuromancer\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWarGames\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHackers\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Matrix\u003c\/i\u003e) and reveals contemporary views of hackers as technological wizards, high-tech pranksters, and virtual criminals. Thomas then examines the court cases of Kevin Mitnick and Chris Lamprecht to determine how hackers are defined as criminals. Thomas finds that popular hacker stereotypes express the public's anxieties about the information age far more than they do the reality of hacking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816633460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816633463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 5.90w x 0.65d","brand":"Douglas Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44311047012607,"sku":"9780816633463","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67c75c8d-ff55-430f-b3f8-dfc1ce3fe7d5.jpg?v=1695720799","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hacker-culture-douglas-thomas-9780816633463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
