Part history, part true-crime, and entirely entertaining, listen to the story of how the behemoth Oxford English Dictionary was made. You'll hang on every word as you discover that the dictionary's greatest contributor was also an insane murderer working from the confines of an asylum.

Amazingly Intriguing
Revisado: 05-27-04
This is the most fascinating book I?ve read (heard) in a long time. The story telling is compulsive. I will never look at a dictionary the same way again. This story should be adapted for the stage. Just Amazingly Intriguing.

In the original meaning of the word, hackers are enthusiastic computer programmers who share their work with others; they are not computer criminals. This is the book that cracks the stigma of the hacker and articulates their invaluable role in the information age.

Everyone's a Hacker?
Revisado: 06-05-03
This was a terribly boring book. The author has taken the term "hacker" and gentrified it into a cookie cutter term for everyone who questions authority. It is impossible to get away from the religious references made throughout this book. Why does the author continually compare the hacker ethic with the protestant ethic? It's as if the author tried writing a 15 page book about Hacker's and his publishers forced him to turn it into a 300 page book about nothing. Not much here and if your listening to it while driving you might run yourself off the road.
