Wang is a computer writer who works a day job (at night) as a stand-up comic. He does not detail technical details about computer hacking whether in the popular sense of breaking into someone else's system or in the insiders' sense of exploring, extending boundaries, and understanding. Rather, he talks about the philosophy and implications of computer hacking. Thinking like a hacker, he says, will introduce readers to new worlds, not all of which are comfortable.
