Hacker Story Challenges

Obviously I have been pondering around the ultimate hacker story or collection of stories for some time. The greatest challenge is entertainment cost verse the the display of what real hackers could potentially do!

The Hollywood version of Hackers includes, hacking the Matrix, flying through Cyberspace and being hunted down by every known government agency.

There are two approaches I can see. First, the hacker as the primary role, second, a hacker in a secondary role. The primary role includes films like Hackers, Swordfish and Takedown. Secondary roles includes, Die Hard 4, can’t think of any others right now.

The entertainment value of someone sitting down and coding blows! The value as in the traditional Macguyver series might involve Michael Daw using hacking techniques in a clever way to keep ahead. This is perhaps the way forward.

Hacker Chronicles to Start

We finally have an artist keen to start working with us to design some groovy hacker comic strips. Unfortunately, I had a bit of a creative LULL, and uur man is "just married"; congrats to him! So we’ll be kicking it off soon. If you any ideas for what you’d like to see in the Michael Daw Hacker Chronicles then now is the time to let us know!
