 topeka::writings::book review: Crypto by Steven Levy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)

Rather, I was arguing that you can't have a serious discussion of issues in the society at large, when so much of Big Media is partisan and dishonest, and that this is why it's so important to point out the dishonesty and try to make things better, which is what I see bloggers doing.
Levy, however -- though in our interview he said he thought that bloggers' emphasis on Trent Lott's racial remarks was fine -- was very unhappy about my emphasis on Kerry's now-admitted misrepresentations about having spent Christmas in Cambodia in 1968, and he also makes that clear in his piece.
As for name-calling, well, the only blog Levy used as an example was InstaPundit, and I'm not a big name-caller -- though anyone who refers to bloggers as "ankle biters" has limited standing on this subject.

Painstakingly compiled by Levy from both written accounts and hundreds of interviews with some of the most important figures in computing, ranging from Greenblatt and Gosper to Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, and Steve Jobs.
Beyond the dated nature of the book, Levy omits several developments that I think were fundamental to the development of the hacker mindset.
