Hackers: They were attempting to create a hacker culture in the present that would logically have led to the cyperpunk of the 90s. Oddly, they paid a hell of a lot more attention to actual current-at-the-time hacker culture than they had any right to expect. They quoted extensively from The Hackers Dictionary (aka The Jargon File), including referencing the major books hackers kept on their shelves, such as the Pink Shirt Book and the Red Book That Doesn't Fit On The Shelf, and they quoted from an actual document titled The Hacker's Manifesto, and more.
