Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The first thing I ever hacked was bedtime. I was not allowed to go to bed before my parents did, but I was not going to let that stop me from getting what I wanted. I began setting the clocks in my house ahead of time, and when the authorities failed to notice, I was furious.#2 The Internet is a network of networks that connects nearly every computer in the world. It has given us the ability to digitize and put online almost everything we don t eat, drink, wear, or dwell in.#3 My generation was the last to grow up in a analogue world. We lived in a grand old house on a little patch of lawn shaded by dogwood trees and strewn in summer with white magnolia flowers. The house had an atypical layout: its main entrance was on the second floor, accessed by a massive brick staircase.#4 I was fascinated by the Commodore 64 my father was using to play Choplifter! I would watch him fly over a moonlit desert and shoot down enemy jets and tanks. He was a hero to me.
