Here is a short extract from the new book "Beating the system
(hackers,
phreakers and electronic spies)" by O.Bowcott and S.Hamilton,
published
by Bloomsbury, London [ISBN 0-7475-0513-6]
 
 
The hacker is at once an explorer, an investigator, a trespasser
and a nuisance. He or she may develop into a voyeur, a burglar,
a vandal, a spy or an exposer of errors. There is nothing new 
in these occupations. However, because they are carried out
within the context of expanding electronic networks, which
are not well understood by a largely technophobic population,
the hacker has emerged as a mysterious and powerful figure,
a latterday sorcerer who arouses fear and loathing as well as
admiration and awe.
 

 A very interesting book, at 7.99 pounds.
