Great insight into the pirate community
Reading this book now, bought both volume I and II, goes into a lot of detail about the pirate community scene and the people involved (even if it is a bit too Atari ST based, I was an Amiga fan lol). Really enjoying reading the book.

Great stories
My Atari ST days ended soon after I went to university in 1989, and reading Crackers II was exciting as I never knew the 90s part of my beloved ST and scene.
