About this product

Product Information

This is a compendium of the slang used by computer hackers. Although it is organized in reference form, it is not a mere technical dictionary or handbook of terms; it offers the reader a guide to the hacker's world, its myths, heroes, folk epics, in-jokes, taboos and dreams. This new edition contains almost five times as many entries as its predecessor, and in addition to detailing of hacker slang (terms like bagbiter, quux, double bucky and frobnitz), also includes some lessons in hacker jargon construction. Appendices include a selection of classic items of hacker folklore and humour, a composite portrait of J. Random Hacker assembled from the comments of over 100 respondents, and a bibliography of nontechnical works that have either influenced or described the culture.

4 out of 5 stars
by williahorn9Apr 06, 2020
Valuable resource, though a bit worn
This dictionary offers even more than I expected: all the computer-related words one could dream up, yes, but also a few supplementary sections on hacker culture I found funny and illuminating. The book arrived a bit more worn than I would hope, but it should do just fine.
