- Description
- Focus is on people who create, program, expand p.c. use (i.e. Wozniak, Felsenstein, Hertzfeld) & their PC obsession. ??"Hackers is not about malicious code-crackers. It is about a "hacker ethic" that led to major breakthroughs in technology, and forever changed our world. From the first MIT hackers to popular Silicon Valley inventors, this program covers this fascinating cultural phenomenon through interviews with twelve of its early pioneers...Hackers was produced over a decade before the advent of the Internet. All interviews were shot over a long weekend in 1984, at the first Hackers Conference, hosted by Whole Earth Catalog editors Stewart Brand and Kevin Kelly, in Sausalito, California. This event was inspired by Steven Levy's classic book Hackers--Heroes of the Computer Revolution.."
