McKenzie Wark's "A Hacker Manifesto"

Anyone else here a fan of this work? It provides a compelling worldview as well as immediately actionable ideas for overcoming our limitations as manking. It puts the Vectoralist class (who hold onto their power by creating the illusion of the limited availability of information) against the Hacker class, who use innovation and novel thought patterns to outwit the Vectoralist class by coming up with ingenious ways to break their control over the flow of information. It really touches me, especially as someone who values truth as much I do: this work made me understand that to me, what God is, is the Truth. For me, this makes the Hacker's mission into a divine one. Probably not the common take on this work, but I am very interested to hear more takes. (to me, this is the MOST Punk ideology of all time!)
