We just have to keep creating the culture. Hacker culture is everywhere. It's here now, you're experiencing it on HN. This board is the spiritual successor to the great BBNs of the 80s and 90s. It might not be at Wired - I think KK tried to dethrone R U Sirius once - but it's out there. Even Mondo is still around. Check out the blog Acceler8or. It's the next chapter of Mondo, and it isn't updated frequently, but it exists. It's gonna be at DNA for their yearly screening of Hackers. It's at your local pawn shop, when you pony up for a used laptop!

We might not have the great hacker collectives and hackerspaces of the past, but the culture is still out there. L0pht might be gone from Boston, sure. But these kids give me a ton of inspiration. [0]

Don't mean to 'go off', but life has no meaning beyond that which you give it. If you 'fictionalize' your existence in the context of cyberpunk, and great science fiction books, and compelling video games, you become a character in those stories. Life is richer for it.
