According to Warks “Hacker Manifesto”, he is trying to portray different perspective of a hacker. He is not interested in blaming about the job of an actual hacker who steals people’s information but he just wants to show how hackers are like in terms of creating information. One section that I found interesting was when he described how hackers are related with Information. He stated that while we have complete access to information 24/7, he is arguing that this actually impedes us from being creative and release our full potential. One quote he said was, ” It is the hacker class that taps the virtuality of information, but it is the vectoralist class that owns and controls the means of production of information in an industrial scale”. It seems that he is defending what an actual hacker is here but more about how hackers prevent free expression since everything is privatized.
