“Nonetheless, the gamers had taken up with gusto the challenge laid down by software manufacturers, and before long a significant subculture of cracker groups had flowered. Its members’ sole aim was to crack games and other software the minute they came onto the market and then parade their cracking skills to their peers. The cyber underworld was born, although it would quickly start fracturing into very different communities – some good, some bad.”

“Was für eine armselige Gestalt er abgibt. Steht da mit verzerrtem Gesicht, seine eine Hand hält die, mit der er gerade die Türscheibe eingeschlagen hat. Es gelingt ihm nicht, mich anzuschauen. Ob er blutet, frage ich ihn. Natürlich blutet er. Ich sehe ja überall die Spritzer. Schon als das erste Wort meinen Mund verlässt, weiß ich um die Unnötigkeit meiner Frage. Aber mehr Empathie schaffe ich gerade nicht. Er widert mich zu sehr an. Mein Mitleid ist schon lange aufgebraucht.”

“There was a small commercial area a little further on, clustered around a crossroads where a huge latticework globe stood on a plinth of black baserock. Maps, some entire and others patchworked from islands or continents, none bigger than a child’s hand, were scattered thinly across its surface. The home map, Gea, was a squarish red tile close to the equator, smaller than most of the rest, and a silvery ball representing the Heartsun was spindled at the centre, and everything was spattered by the droppings of a fractious parliament of vivid green birds which had colonised the globe’s pole, chattering each to each and scolding passers-by.”

The groups I took part in were formed with a narrow range of ages, backgrounds, experiences, identities, beliefs, and activities.

I recognize that the communities I experienced in my home region were not communities at all, but scenes.”

“O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies In herbs, plants, stones, and their true qualities: For nought so vile that on the earth doth live But to the earth some special good doth give, Nor aught so good but strain’d from that fair use Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse: Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied; And vice sometimes by action dignified. Within the infant rind of this small flower Poison hath residence and medicine power: For this, being smelt, with that part cheers each part; Being tasted, slays all senses with the heart. Two such opposed kings encamp them still In man as well as herbs, grace and rude will; And where the worser is predominant, Full soon the canker death eats up that plant.”
