In this book, the author views hackers
(i.e. programmers
who create imaginative solutions)
as makers like
painters, architects and composers.
The book consists of 15 short essays
(from 7 to 31 pages long)
on important topics related to the computer age.

If you find at least two of the following questions intriguing,
I suggest getting this book:
Why are nerds unpopular?
How are hackers and painters similar?
How can you tell what it's dangerous to say?
How is wealth created?

This book is provocative and you're likely to find your mind ablaze with ideas if you engage with it.

I've also written a longer review,
but I'm not sure where I'll put it.
It ends: "This book engages with some particularly important ideas involving hackers and the world we live in.
You do live in this world, right?
If so, read this book."
