Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #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.
