Bethke Bruce
This, in somewhat cleaned-up format, is the original manuscript of the novel I wrote between 1984 and 1989. I'm still not sure whether this is a functional book or merely interesting wreckage, but in an admittedly rather naive experiment in electronic publishing, I'm putting the file on the web under the terms of a shareware license.

THE HACKER CRACKDOWN Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier
http://www.mit.edu:8001/hacker/hacker.html
1994
Sterling Bruce
Out in the traditional world of print, The Hacker Crackdown is ISBN 0-553-08058-X, and is formally catalogued by the Library of Congress as "1. Computer crimes -- United States. 2. Telephone -- United States -- Corrupt practices. 3. Programming (Electronic computers) -- United States -- Corrupt practices." `Corrupt practices,' I always get a kick out of that description. Librarians are very ingenious people.

Future Culture Manifesto
http://project.cyberpunk.ru/idb/future_culture_manifesto.html
1993
Hawks Andy
You are five years old. You are lieing on a grassy hill, blowing bubbles up into a clear field of blue sky. Bubbles. Right now, as a five year old child, you look at the bubbles, and words pop into your head: "pretty", "oooooo", "float". To you, the bubbles are almost like people -- at least somewhat analogous to Bugs Bunny or a Smurf. Your wide eyes follow the bubbles as they traipse along the gentle prevailing curves of soft winds, turning, rotating, revolving endlessly in the air. A sunray beams its light through one particular bubble you have been admiring, and within its midst your eyes become privy to a new world -- a heretofor unknown domain of chaotic rainbows swirling about along the bubble. The colors, like a sentient anthill, work at once individually and synergetically to give the bubble it's unique flavor, an individual identity among the community of bubbles.

After the Deluge: Cyberpunk in the '80s and '90s
http://www.ecn.org/settorecyb/txt/tom_maddox_sul_cyberpunk.html
2001
Maddox Tom
In the mid-'80s cyberpunk emerged as a new way of doing science fiction in both literature and film. The primary book was William Gibson's Neuromancer; the most important film, Blade Runner. Both featured a hard-boiled style, were intensely sensuous in their rendering of detail, and engaged technology in a manner unusual in science fiction: neither technophiliac (like so much of "Golden Age" sf) nor technophobic (like the sf "New Wave"), cyberpunk did not so much embrace technology as go along for the ride.
