HACKERS

Introduction

I'm interested in hackers and hacking culture. So I have books and movies about the subject. Here's my list. If you know of a good book or movie that's missing, please let me know. I am not trading or selling any of these books and movies. Repeat: these are not for trade/sale!

I did not include books about technical security and computer history, of which I also have a load.

Things I really like are marked with a *.
