Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier by Katie Hafner, John Markoff
Cyberpunk, originally published in 1991 and considered a timeless classic, explores the exploits of three international computer hackers. Cyberpunk provides a fascinating tour of a bizarre subculture populated by outlaws who penetrate even the most sensitive computer networks. The three hackers profiled are Kevin Mitnick, Robert Tappan Morris (who released the infamous Internet Worm in 1988) and a young German named Pengo who, together with a band of other West Germans, sold purloined data to the KGB.
