Hackers :: Heroes of the Computer Revolution
Its been sometime i have been reading this book titled "Hackers :: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" by the author Steven Levy during my train journey from home to office and office to home ( LoL, thats only when i get time to read something :P )
So as i have been reading about the tix-0, PDP-1, PDP-6 and true hackers like Alan Kotok, Samson, twelve year old Peter Deutsch, Greenblatt, Gosper and many others, also places like MIT ( Massachusetts Institute of Technology ) ( MIT stories have always inspired me, as they welcome people with open minds and open ideas, they actually workout on those stuffs, i haven't seen anything like an institute or place in India like MIT ) , TMRC ( Tech Model Railroad Club), Building 26, Kluge room, Flexowriters and many other stuffs in the book ( of course i can't write all the book contents out here )
Sometimes i felt as there was some similarity between those hackers lifestyle and mine, because whatever i have done in the past and current doing, some or the other data matches in the book from my real life :P
Well the book is worth reading, although it can get a bit boring sometimes, but whenever i am in the right mood to read some hacker story, i just open my book and start reading from the last place where i left ( oops sometimes i try to findout where i left reading the last time i closed the book )
After reading what i wrote and if you wanna read the book or if you are simply interested in trying out the book, then you can find the soft copy of the book at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext96/hckrs10.txt
Though i haven't completed reading the entire book, but i have read more than 90 pages, well its not about buying a book and completing the book by reading it fast fast, its all about enjoying the book which you are reading according to your time and mood

The most important thing i liked in the book was the Chapter 2 titled "The Hacker Ethic" and my most favourite line is "All information should be free"Link :: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers:_Heroes_of_the_Computer_Revolution
