……大学时读的另一本书。也超级喜欢，特别是它展现了早期计算机那种天马行空（blue sky）的探索本质。人们对这项新技术该怎么用有过那么多绝妙的想法。[3] 《Cult of the Dead Cow》- 非虚构 - 这是我最近读的。对黑客文化的一次极佳审视；包括那些艰难、不顺心的方面。如果你不属于某个特定政治阵营，读起来可能会有些让人不爽的内容，……

After reading "Permanent Record" by Edward Snowden and "Cult of the Dead Cow" by Joseph Menn, I can't help but feel like the NSA is basically "the bad guys", and I assumed most hackers would feel the same. Are people really excited to do challenges like these for them? I don't…
