He has appeared in vidyia over there so is probably well regarded :^)

I read Kubrick's Napoleon script a while ago. It might have been his best movie if it actually got made..

>>7591047
That movie was absolute overrated garbage.

>>7591047
My favorite movie. But It is very visual and I think there are a lot of improvised scenes (I mean, por of it was filmed a year or so later), so the script must be very different from the final result.

>was voted class clown in my high school but turned it down because of stupid hipster bullshit
>turned it down

I need clarification. Were you offered a certificate or something? Did your high school do badges or something?

It was a senior superlative type of thing. You got your picture in the yearbook alongside the other people who got most athletic, most school spirit, ect. I didn't want some sort of cheesy pic of me doing something totes wacky in a yearbook. Looking back on it, I'm not sure if it was the right decision but I don't really care that much.

More like twist the truth and peddle lies to further your own narrative

Yef.

not thrillers per se (though they are certainly thrilling) the works of elmore leonard never fail to entertain.

First few novels by Clancy before he turned to shit.
Le Carre
Maybe a few others.

Haven't heard one good thing bout Koontz, Patterson, Grisham, Connely and their ilk

I love a good thriller. I came to the genre through my love of Ian Fleming and James Bond novels. So after Ian died Kingsley Amis wrote one Bond novel and it turned me into a fan of his. In fact I love all the Bond authors, Gardner, Benson, Higson, Faulks, Boyd, Wood, Horowitz and Deaver. Jeffrey Deaver I love outside his single Bond novel, check out Garden Of Beasts.

Also, Ludlum, Clancy, Lecarre, Dale Brown (Act Of War and Edge of Battle are the closest we will ever get to an Iron Man/War Machine/Air force/south american drug lords novel).

i submitted a slightly edited story i wrote for TAR back in the day, but TAR was dead by then.

i'd just binged on the wire can you tell

>>7602069
I mean, having a character named McNulty was kind of a giveaway haha. Thanks for the submission

Ender's Game has Andrew Wiggin hack a computer username system, but it's not fundamentally about hacking.

>>7601834
Neuromancer

>>7601834

I would dare say the non-fiction available is superior to the fiction. Some good titles, limited to the topic of hacking itself:
* Steven Levy, Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution [the best general history I think]
* Eric S. Raymond, ed., The Jargon File [hacker dictionary; also a good author to know for open-source topics]
* Katie Hafner and John Markoff, Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier [some interesting examples]
* Bruce Sterling, The Hacker Crackdown: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier [a good author to know for legal issues, security, and so on]
* Clifford Stoll, The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage [a detailed account of an early and significant security incident]
* Steve Wozniak with Gina Smith, iWoz [Wozniak is a great hacker in the true sense of the word, e.g., the efficiency of his designs for the original Apple computers]

What are your fucking thoughts on it, faggot?

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

I started with the Bloom and Norton anthologies and went from there.

>>7600842
Read an intro book to learn about meter, classic poem forms, rhyme and rhetorical techniques.
Then read a poetry anthology to get a good taste of different movements and poets.
Read more poetry.
