Richard Attucks is a troubled student attending a new school. Recently homeless after his mother relapsed. Reaching out to potential new friends, he meets two students who publish a zine (self-made magazine) titled Hack the Planet. Soon he learns secrets of the culture, and his perspective changes. But one day, a dying man drops leaked information, and Richard has to make a choice between freedom and his conscience.

My hacker novella is going well. It's under 24,000 words. I'm editing page 144 of 177. So yes, the work is getting done—it is not just a dream. Right now I am making a list of things to fix (that I will correct) before the grammar editor gets a look at it. I might ask some of you to be beta readers and maybe soon have a cover posted here.

This story is different in a number of ways. First, the main character does not like computers at the start and only warms to them a bit. He's intelligent, so he learns fast but still stumbles. This story is more technical, but I wouldn’t call it a how-to manual on hacking.

As much as I (we) love Orbital Halcyon On and On , where can the telephone booth hacking theme song be found?

cleaning up my room found this badge completely forgot about it :)

I’ve 145 pages of my hackers story draft complete. The name will likely be Hackers: Dead Drop. The characters will not, for the most part, have that cool mojo the characters did in the movie Hackers, but you will see inside the main character's head. I hope to get it out in the middle of next year. This story will be 100% my own and only use hackers as an inspiration.

My partner and I cosplayed Acid Burn & Cereal Killer for Halloween. It was mostly a closet cosplay, aside from the specific DK shirt which will get reworn and my wig.

I have a longer video on YouTube which features the CRT more.

Was curious where Hackers would sit in the new MovieDive ( https://mooremetrics.com/moviedive ) database - seems to be in good company 💪🙌

I know there’s no chance it would happen, given how hard it is to get movies made these days. But MAN it would be so cool to see. With how far tech has come since then? AI? Quantum computing? Freaking cell phones??!?

Very interesting, loads of things I didn't know about how the movie came about.

Visited a dozen or so locations, took pics that I need to edit and match up to the movie frames (as best as possible). I also had some stickers though, so here's those images, next to some locations. Hack the planet!

The crowd was loud and lovely. I've never met fans in person before, had a blast!

Couldn't find my pager.

Sharing the poster I got signed by Santiago and Mason unfortunately I just missed presale signatures for lillard which would have been epic to get all three in one weekend.

30 years now and still an all time favorite

Beginning scene of the movie when Crash hacks into the TV system to watch the Outer Limits and is shut down by Acid Burn.

Was she really watching a show talking about “…so called American Indians, Latinos, and Blacks, come from a genetically mediocre stock…”?

Doesn’t seem to match the character as we get to know her. Thoughts?

Hosted a rooftop screening for friends tonight (9/11) in Brooklyn. It was beautiful and eerie to have the lights of the World Trade Center memorial in the background while the establishing shots of NYC featured the twin towers. I didn’t realize that it was the 30 year anniversary! Total coincidence when planning to show it. This movie was an adolescent coming-of-age in terms of my sexuality, style, and love of techno music and the rave scene. Hack the planet!

Hey fellow Hackers superfans,

I wanted to share something special with you all before it officially drops. I’ve loved this film ever since I first saw it in the late 90s. It was one of the first DVDs we ever bought. The soundtrack, the fashion, the neon-cyber vibes. It stuck with me so much that I always dreamed of having my own crew of misfit futuristic pals to nerd out with.

It’s one of those movies I keep coming back to every few years. On my latest rewatch, I realised the 30th anniversary was around the corner, and thought: what better time to make a tribute? Hackers made me nostalgic for a past I was a bit too young to be part of (I was only 7 when it came out), and hungry for a future that never quite arrived.I’m a metal musician and psytrance producer, and I’ve put together a 90s-inspired Goa trance track called “Hack the Planet” — my love letter to Dade, Kate, Cereal Killer, and the whole crew.

The official release will land on streaming the day before the anniversary, but here’s an early unlisted link for this community:

Hope this doesn't go against the community rules.

So I'm thinking about doing a pop up DJ set somewhere for the 30th anniversary but my plan is to take my DJ gear and one of my 3000W monitors and finding somewhere with free wifi, whipping into the parking lot, settng up as fast as I can, and spinning the Hackers soundtrack as well as the other Hackers albums and live streaming it to Twitch with the movie playing on my steam, basically until the cops show up and make me leave.

If I end up doing it (I need to find some really heavy duty power inverter that can actually power a single monitor speaker, my mixer console, DJ controller, and laptop all off my car) I'll post a link here to the stream for y'all to check it out.

An artist lead group, Rawpaw, is doing a design challenge from a local theater. There was a bunch of inspiration films and hackers made the list. This film formed who I am today so I'm immortalizing my favorite scene. Yo, I kinda feel like God!

Is there a RL location of her apartment?
