The book "Hackers, heroes of the computer revolution. Chapters 1 and 2" by Stephen Levy is a fascinating essay about the fascinating history of the emergence of computers and the first hacker attempts to storm digital spaces. The first chapter tells about the period of 1950-1960, when computers were large, inconvenient and available only to a select few. But this did not prevent young amateurs from looking for new ways to use these electronic machines, introducing unexpected possibilities into the world. The second chapter takes us back to the 60s, when hackers already clearly understood how to use the computer to achieve their goals. This is the time of hacking attempts, the creation of the first software and the endless possibilities that opened before them. The author frankly and succinctly describes the development of hacker culture, reflecting every step in the formation of the modern Internet world.
