From Booklist
Hackers and Hacking traces the origins of computer hacking from the 1950s to the present. Using an accessible narrative style, the book highlights how hackers utilize various formats to engage in different forms of cybercrime, looking at the crimes from both a social and a technological perspective. The volume begins with a history of the Internet around the world as well as detailed descriptions of all variations of hacking. The narrative continues with an in-depth look at how hackers cause damage, followed by a section of essays (“Perspectives”) on the criminal implications and the real-world effects of hacking. Chapter 4, “Profiles,” presents an extremely fascinating perspective of sketches of key hackers, organizations, security companies, and leaders in the field. There is a useful chapter featuring tables and statistics. A section of resources, a chronology, a glossary, and an index round out the work. This unique addition to the Contemporary World Issues series enables the nontechie to better comprehend this worldwide issue of cybercrime. It’s useful to note that the book only looks at the more malicious side of hacking—very little is said about hackers who do it more for the “thrill seeking” aspect or act out of a sense of social responsibility or freedom of speech. Still, this volume is a worthwhile addition to the reference collections of high-school, academic, and public libraries. --Carol Sue Harless
