"Bruce Sterling - The Hacker Crackdown" - читать интересную книгу автора (Sterling Bruce)

This electronic book is now literary freeware. It now belongs to the
emergent realm of alternative information economics. You have no right
to make this electronic book part of the conventional flow of commerce.
Let it be part of the flow of knowledge: there's a difference. I've divided
the book into four sections, so that it is less ungainly for upload and
download; if there's a section of particular relevance to you and your
colleagues, feel free to reproduce that one and skip the rest.

Just make more when you need them, and give them to whoever might
want them.

Now have fun.
