Paul Graham (YC/HN founder) has some good essays on startup/hacker culture. http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html

http://www.paulgraham.com/wealth.html is probably the one that had the biggest impact on me and is sort of a manifesto for startups.

I second Paul Grahams essays. Paul has written a lot of essays. They are all pretty interesting to read, and they have some great information in them.
