That moral brought back memories of The Hacker Crackdown by Bruce Sterling, which is freely available online and which I'd happily recommend to anyone remotely interested. Sterling's non-fiction book recounts how what Thompson described as "an explosive situation brewing" actually played out in practice. That's history now, but it's recent history and still relevant, as well as entertaining to read about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hacker_Crackdown#External_links
