Nick asks a good question. Since it's a class on "deviance" I'd recommend two good books: Mia Consolvo's Cheating and Doug Thomas' Hacker Culture. Both books look at concepts of breaking rules and breaking norms within facets of geek culture. On Wed, Nov 7, 2012 at 6:25 PM, Nick Lalone <nick.lalone@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi all, A colleague asked me if I had any recommendations on an academic book on geek culture that she could use in her deviance class. I told her I didn't but that this list almost certainly would. Who wants to prove me right?
