Bootblock Rebels is a book about the Amiga cracking scene (1986-1996) - the coders, suppliers, BBS sysops, and groups who built one of the most fascinating underground computer cultures of the 80s and 90s.

The project is now live on Kickstarter and already fully funded, but you can still join and support the book.
