QUOTE : Like cowboys, hackers supposedly experienced freedom in a wild land that yielded only to our special prowess and expertise. We roamed as we pleased, inventing reality for everyone else. Normal people would wait helplessly as we blazed their new world. What surprised me over the next few decades is that all those alien, “normal” people, all over the globe, chose to buy into our myth. You let us reinvent your world! I’m still curious why.
