Hack Chick: A coming-of-age story of a girl and the Internet.

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

The early days of the Internet were wild and uncharted, offering both anonymity and potential new identities for those bold enough to explore them. My personal story weaves through these emerging digital landscapes, providing insight into the early hacker community, the foundational days of online culture, and my own coming-of-age experience. Travel with me from Florida to New York, to Australia, Washington D.C., Las Vegas and eventually Los Angeles. Explore hacker conferences like HOPE, Pumpcon, Summercon, Defcon, and BlackHat. Uncover FBI investigations, the first DDOS attacks, a friendship with Julian Assange, surviving 9/11, and my own firsthand #MeToo experiences. Between 1994 and 2005, I found love, loss and my own identity as one of the first 'hack chicks.' Known as L0ra, I ran the first female-run hack box, b1tchez.org. I grew up before smartphones and social media, in that small space of time where it was possible to build lives online that spilled over into real life.
