#6To me, this manifesto has little more than historical value. It's more an expression of generic adolescent angst rather than of hacker culture.
It's a poor "manifesto" too. What exactly are the aims of The Hacker? "Exploring", "Outsmarting you", and "judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like". Platitudes, really, if you set aside the emotional outbursts surrounding them.
The Jargon File offers a more balanced and intricate exploration of The Hacker. It's always worth a read.
