This book is more then terms and descriptions. It's chalk full of hacker lore and history

    Worth having
  

*by I***2 on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2002*

I would normally not consider buying something named "The New Hacker's Dictionary", as the first thing that comes to mind is "drivel for the stupid masses". However, I must say that I was wrong. The "dictionary" is actually by an author who is obviously familiar with the computing days of old - the definitions aren't idiotic new-age garbage, but rather words that most "hackers"/"computer nerds" will recognize - while the regular folk will not. The book doesn't discuss words like "click", "webpage" and any other "popular" computing terms - instead it's words like "foobar", "warez d00dz", "flipflop", etc...If you're at all interested in classic computing culture, this book is something I feel every computer nerd should have (you fit the description if, among other things, you like monty python and your idea of the perfect evening is spending it at home programming, with occasional breaks to watch the X-Files).If you're a soccermom, or a script/warez kiddie, this book is not for you. You probably won't understand it, and will certainly not appreciate it.

    Dated but still amusing and informative
  

*by W***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015*

Remember that "new" is a relative term. Relative to, say, the geologic time-frame, this is surely The NEW Hacker's Dictionary. However, relative to its subject matter - computer technology - it's "middle-aged" at best. Last updated in 1996, it predates most of the technology that is in use today, and as a result, the terminology defined here is more of historic interest. That's not to say it's uninteresting - there are some terms defined that are still current, and much of the out-dated material provides interesting back-story to present technology. Best of all, though, is the subtle humor that pervades the text.
