His picture of early life in Bed Stuy is probably common to other memoirs like this, but it's still very well drawn. It isn't all bad to be a poor kid in a ghetto. It's just dangerous, but that is how kids learn about things. If it wasn't for his grandmother and some of the members of his family, I don't think he would have made it either.
The discussion of hacking and why it mattered at that particular point in the history of computing is rivetting. In a sense, hacking was much more than the usual way of getting out of a ghetto by being a great hip hop artist or athlete, because it simply didn't matter to hackers what the race, class, gender or age of a person was. It mattered what you knew about hacking. That's the purest form of education, and it's worth thinking about that. ( )
