Hackers: good or bad?

Hackers, by Paul A. Taylor (TPB, 1999, $2)
"Taylor looks at the perennial battle between the computer underground and the security industry. He talks to people operating on both sides of the law... about the practicalities, objectives and wider implications of what they do."

The Hacker Ethic: A Radical Approach to the Philosophy of Business, by Pekka Himanen (TPB, 2001, $2)
"You may be a hacker and not even know it... It is a fundamentally new work ethic that is revolutionizing the way business is being done around the world... Now there is a greater need than ever for entrepreneurial versatility of the sort that has made hackers the most important innovators of out day."

I thought all hacking was bad. Am I the only one confused here?

Look for these on the new non-fiction table.
