Synopsis
This is a compendium of the slang used by computer hackers. Although it is organized in reference form, it is not a mere technical dictionary or handbook of terms; it offers the reader a guide to the hacker's world, its myths, heroes, folk epics, in-jokes, taboos and dreams. This new edition contains almost five times as many entries as its predecessor, and in addition to detailing of hacker slang (terms like "bagbiter", "quux", "double bucky" and "frobnitz"), also includes some lessons in hacker jargon construction. Appendices include a selection of classic items of hacker folklore and humour, a composite portrait of "J. Random Hacker" assembled from the comments of over 100 respondents, and a bibliography of nontechnical works that have either influenced or described the culture.

Review
A sprightly lexicon.--William Safire "New York Times Magazine "
My current favorite is 'wave a dead chicken.' New to you? You've waved a dead chicken when you've gone through motions to satisfy onlookers (suits?), even when you're sure it's all futile. Raymond's book exhilarates... "The New Hacker's Dictionary," though, is not for skimming. Allot, each day, a half hour, severely timed if you hope to get any work done.--Hugh Kenner "Byte "
From the Back Cover
This third edition of 'The New Hackers Dictionary' mainly deepens rather than broadens the lexicon; there are about a hundred new entries, but many more changes adding new meanings, background, and etymological history. In the age of the 'information superhighway' this book is more relevant, and more needed, than ever before.
