Mike of @Stellium7 joins me in a special interview to discuss his new Autobiography, "The Hacker Prince"
The Hacker Prince: A True Story of Digital Mischief and Redemption in the 80s
Step into the electrifying world of 1980s hacking with The Hacker Prince, a gripping memoir that unveils the untold story of Michael P. Wilkerson— the first computer hacker ever jailed for the crime of hacking. At just 18, Wilkerson infiltrated the servers of tech giants like Microsoft and Boeing, outsmarting systems with nothing but a keyboard, curiosity, and a rebellious streak. But this isn’t just a tale of digital daring—it’s a raw, heartfelt journey of a misfit teen seeking belonging, confronting personal demons, and challenging a world on the cusp of the internet revolution.
From clandestine bulletin board systems to high-stakes hack conventions with infamous groups like the Legion of Doom, Wilkerson’s adventures pulse with the thrill of outwitting corporate Goliaths and the camaraderie of the early hacker underground. Yet, beneath the bravado lies a deeply human story: a young man navigating alienation, trauma, and the consequences of his own audacity. When the law catches up, his brief incarceration in 1985 marks a historic moment, making him a pioneer in the shadowy realm of cybercrime—and a mirror for a society grappling with the power of code.
Perfect for tech enthusiasts, nostalgia seekers, and fans of true coming-of-age tales, The Hacker Prince blends the wild energy of Hackers with the introspective depth of a classic memoir. With vivid storytelling and unflinching honesty, Wilkerson invites you to explore the dawn of the digital age, question authority, and discover the unlikely heroes who shaped our connected world.
