Features: In a sense, we are like hackers—illegitimate existences, unreasonable existences. All we can do is hover at the boundary between imagination and reality, seeking evidence that we are not part of the game of life or that we are not being played by others. Reality and virtuality together form the source of our lives. The real world we experience every day is actually very far from us—it is the tip of a massive iceberg floating on the water. Under strong sunlight, they change unpredictably, fleeting and elusive, impossible to grasp. The unseen, dark part submerged beneath the cold ice is what truly belongs to us, becoming our mark and proof of identity. This book uses the term "hacker" to tell stories about computer technicians. Hackers are merely a metaphor, a legendary tale.
