Dear Hacker: Letters to the Editor of 2600 will be a compilation of the single most popular feature that has appeared regularly in 2600Magazine since its inception in 1984. One thing that 2600 has become famous for is the wide variety of readers it attracts: corporate spies, adolescent rebels, computer geeks, anarchists, survivalists, worried parents, law enforcement, private eyes, criminals, and consumer advocates. On a regular basis, representatives of each of these groups writes in to the magazine and, quite often, winds up getting published. Depending on the source, the information offered can be insightful, funny, scary, or outright insane. Oftentimes, a reply from the editor is offered, which is often tinged with sarcasm or admonition. Many readers claim to buy the magazine just to read the letters. This book will be the first time a collection of letters has been bound together and sorted by theme. The compilation of feedback from the early 1980s to the present will illustrate where we’re headed, along with some of the interesting topics touched upon along the way. The book will be divided into the following categories of letters:

How Do I Become a Hacker? /Questions About Technology/ Society’s Rebels/ Rants/  Retail Hijinks/ Hate Mail/ Problems/

Nut Cases/ Leaked Info
