I love this illustration for instance, from The News-Times, Saturday January 14th, 1978. https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachments/files/116/794/394/699/462/830/original/e4c47a8710595ac6.png

This incredible illustration accompanied an article in The Columbus Ledge on November 19th, 1978 which discussed whether colleges and universities were helping to create computer criminals by giving students access to computers. Bit of a bizarre moral panic.

The guy who wrote the book that prompted the article is an absolute mainstay of any conversation about hacking or computer crime through the seventies and into the eighties, Donn B Parker. I need to write about him at some point. A real hardass character. https://assets.chaos.social/media_attachmen...
