{"product_id":"2940016137872","title":"2600: The Hacker Digest - Volume 2","description":"Volume 2 of The Hacker Digest brings you back to the early days of\u003cbr\u003e2600 Magazine. A lot was happening back in 1985, as the magazine\u003cbr\u003eentered its second year. There were more subjects covered as the readership grew, letters to the editor started to pour in, and the magazine itself\u003cbr\u003eexpanded in size by a third. The idea of running a computer bulletin board\u003cbr\u003ein affiliation with 2600 came to fruition early in the year and, by the middle\u003cbr\u003eof the year, it had been seized by the authorities, propelling 2600 and hackers\u003cbr\u003einto the headlines once more. Meanwhile, the technological revolution\u003cbr\u003econtinued, and 2600 led the way with articles on all aspects of the rapidly\u003cbr\u003eevolving telecommunications industry, as well as all kinds of computer\u003cbr\u003eoperating systems that were not yet within reach of most people. Any company\u003cbr\u003eor institution that had the nerve to hook a computer of any sort to the phone\u003cbr\u003elines could well find themselves thoroughly analyzed and critiqued in the pages\u003cbr\u003eof 2600. The format continued to be that of a monthly newsletter: three sheets\u003cbr\u003eof paper with loose-leaf holes punched in them for the convenience of readers.\u003cbr\u003eHere, it's reformatted into an actual book, complete with explanations of the\u003cbr\u003ecovers and various other features. Every character has been proofread (typos\u003cbr\u003ehave been preserved) and many of the articles have stood the test of time and\u003cbr\u003eare quite applicable today. Most every telephone number printed, however,\u003cbr\u003ehas likely changed.","brand":"2600 Enterprises","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171236692208,"sku":"2940016137872","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016137872_p0.jpg?v=1763629640","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016137872","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
