  From the Introduction: The hopes of past generations of hackers weigh 
like a delirium on the brains of the newbies. Back in the days when 
Bulletin Board Systems metamorphosed into the Internet, the world’s 
digital communications networks – hitherto confined to military, 
corporate and elite academic institutions – were at grasping reach of 
ordinary individuals. To declare the independence of the Internet from 
nation states and the corporate world seemed like no more than stating 
the bare facts. Even encrypted communication – the brainchild of 
military research – had leaked into the public’s hands and had become a 
tool wielded against state power. Collectives of all stripes could make 
use of the new possibilities offered by the Web to bypass traditional 
media, broadcast their own voice and assemble in new ways in this new 
public sphere. For some time, at least, the Internet as a whole embodied 
“alternativeness.”
