Hackers

from Screen Refresh · host Screen Refresh

If there was one thing the 90's loved, it was taking wildly big swings on what the future of computers would be. The results ranged from alarmist thriller fare to the borderline fantastic, and for one moment in 1995, we got a ridiculous but lovingly crafted film about a group of kids who took on the man and those who would abuse the powers of hacking. This month, Tim, Dean, and Nick venture into cyberspace to bring you the startlingly fashionable world of Hackers! So, plug in your dial-up modem, crank up that Prodigy soundtrack, and get ready for a rollercoaster ride through a time when the digital frontier was truly uncharted territory.
