They had a profound effect upon me.&lt;p&gt;Wark also, fwiw, wrote &lt;i&gt;the&lt;/i&gt; Hacker Manifesto [1]. Although, ironically, I can&amp;#x27;t imagine her views there would be that well received on HN.&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.hup.harvard.edu&amp;#x2F;catalog.php?isbn=9780674015432&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.hup.harvard.edu&amp;#x2F;catalog.php?isbn=9780674015432&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
<story><title>The Society of the Spectacle</title><url>https://unredacted-word.pub/</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>antihero</author><text>I&amp;#x27;ve read quite a bit of this book, and situationalism is awesome - though I do find this writing style quite...fatiguing. Part of me can&amp;#x27;t work out whether it&amp;#x27;s written like this to fit a huge amount of meaning into one paragraph or whether it&amp;#x27;s just being flash or whether it&amp;#x27;s also a postmodernist nod to postmodernism itself (which...isn&amp;#x27;t all postmodernism?).</text></comment>
