nightwork coverNightwork, MIT Historian T. F. Peterson

A happy gathering of the best hacks from the MIT Museum's unique collection of hack-related pictures, reports, and remnants. Police cars and cows on the Great Dome, a disappearing door to the President's office, the commencement game of "Al Gore Buzzword Bingo" and more to entertain innocent bystanders and inspire new generations of practitioners. Turns out that MIT has to employ two "hack managers" to evaluate, manage, and remove hacks. The author preserves all the hilarity in his description of the student hijinks.
