T* ( PREFACE TO THE ELECTRONIC EDITION) Tj
T* ( ___________________________________________________________________) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( Why would an author give away an unlimited number of copies of her book) Tj
T* ( for free?) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( That's a good question. When `Underground''s researcher, Julian) Tj
T* ( Assange, first suggested releasing an electronic version of the book on) Tj
T* ( the Net for free, I had to stop and think about just that question.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( I'd spent nearly three years researching, writing and editing the nearly) Tj
T* ( 500 pages of `Underground'. Julian had worked thousands of) Tj
T* ( hours doing painstaking research; discovering and cultivating sources,) Tj
T* ( digging with great resourcefulness into obscure databases and legal) Tj
T* ( papers, not to mention providing valuable editorial advice.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( So why would I give away this carefully ripened fruit for free?) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( Because part of the joy of creating a piece of art is in knowing that) Tj
T* ( many people can - and are - enjoying it. Particularly people who can't) Tj
T* ( otherwise afford to pay $11 USD for a book. People such as cash strapped) Tj
T* ( hackers. This book is about them, their lives and obsessions. It rubs) Tj
T* ( clear a small circle in the frosted glass so the reader can peer into) Tj
T* ( that hazy world. `Underground' belongs on the Net, in their ephemeral) Tj
T* ( landscape.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( The critics have been good to `Underground', for which I am very) Tj
T* ( grateful. But the best praise came from two of the hackers detailed in) Tj
T* ( the book. Surprising praise, because while the text is free of the) Tj
T* ( narrative moralising that plague other works, the selection of material) Tj
T* ( is often very personal and evokes mixed sympathies. One of the hackers,) Tj
T* ( Anthrax dropped by my office to say `Hi'. Out of the blue, he said with) Tj
T* ( a note of amazement, `When I read those chapters, it was so real, as if) Tj
T* ( you had been right there inside my head'. Not long after Par, half a) Tj
T* ( world away, and with a real tone of bewildered incredulity in his voice) Tj
T* ( made exactly the same observation. For a writer, it just doesn't get any) Tj
T* ( better than that.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( By releasing this book for free on the Net, I'm hoping more people) Tj
T* ( will not only enjoy the story of how the international computer) Tj
T* ( underground rose to power, but also make the journey into the minds) Tj
T* ( of hackers involved. When I first began sketching out the book's) Tj
T* ( structure, I decided to go with depth. I wanted the reader to) Tj

T* ( think, 'NOW I understand, because I too was there.' I hope those) Tj
T* ( words will enter your thoughts as you read this electronic book.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( Michael Hall, a supersmart lawyer on the book's legal team, told me) Tj
T* ( in July last year he saw a young man in Sydney reading a copy of) Tj
T* ( `Underground' beside him on the #380 bus to North Bondi. Michael) Tj
T* ( said he wanted to lean over and proclaim proudly, `I legalled that) Tj
T* ( book!'. Instead, he chose to watch the young man's reactions.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( The young man was completely absorbed, reading hungrily through his) Tj
T* ( well-worn copy, which he had completely personalised. The pages were) Tj
T* ( covered in highlighter, scrawled margin writing and post-it notes. He) Tj
T* ( had underlined sections and dog-eared pages. If the bus had detoured to) Tj
T* ( Brisbane, he probably wouldn't have noticed.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( I like that. Call me subversive, but I'm chuffed `Underground' is) Tj
T* ( engaging enough to make people miss bus stops. It makes me happy, and) Tj
T* ( happy people usually want to share.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( There are other reasons for releasing `Underground' in this format. The) Tj
T* ( electronic version is being donated to the visionary Project Gutenburg,) Tj
T* ( a collection of free electronic books run with missionary zeal by) Tj
T* ( Michael Hart.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( Project Gutenburg promises to keep old out-of-print books in free) Tj
T* ( ``electronic'' print forever, to bring literature to those who can't) Tj
T* ( afford books, and to brighten the world of the visually) Tj
T* ( impaired. `Underground' isn't out of print -- and long may it remain) Tj
T* ( that way -- but those are laudable goals. I wrote in the `Introduction') Tj
T* ( to the printed edition about my great aunt, a diver and artist who) Tj
T* ( pioneered underwater painting in the 1940s. She provided me with a kind) Tj
T* ( of inspiration for this book. What I didn't mention is that as a result) Tj
T* ( of macular degeneration in both eyes, she is now blind. She can no) Tj
T* ( longer paint or dive. But she does read - avidly - through `talking) Tj
T* ( books'. She is another reason I decided to release `Underground' in this) Tj
T* ( format.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( So, now you can download and read the electronic version of) Tj
T* ( `Underground' for free. You can also send the work to your friends for) Tj
T* ( free. Or your enemies. At around a megabyte of plain text each, a few) Tj
T* ( dozen copies of `Underground' make an extremely effective mail bomb.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( That's a joke, folks, not a suggestion. ;-\)) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( Like many of the people in this book, I'm not big on rules. Fortunately,) Tj
T* ( there aren't many that come with this electronic version. Don't print) Tj
T* ( the work on paper, CD or any other format, except for your own personal) Tj
T* ( reading pleasure. This includes using the work as teaching material in) Tj
T* ( institutions. You must not alter or truncate the work in any way. You) Tj
T* ( must not redistribute the work for any sort of payment, including) Tj
T* ( selling it on its own or as part of a package. Random House is a) Tj
T* ( friendly place, but as one of the world's largest publishers it has a) Tj
T* ( collection of equally large lawyers. Messing with them will leave you) Tj
T* ( with scars in places that could be hard to explain to any future) Tj
T* ( partner.) Tj
T* () Tj
T* ( If you want to do any of these things, please contact me or my literary) Tj
T* ( agents Curtis Brown & Co first. I retain the copyright on the) Tj
T* ( work. Julian Assange designed the elegant layout of this electronic) Tj
T* ( edition, and he retains ownership of this design and layout.) Tj
