When the Secret Service raided Steve Jackson Games to suppress publication of 'Hacker' I immediately wrote Congress to protest.
Serious distortion of the facts. "Hacker" was published as a reaction to the raid; it was not the target of the raid. The book you are thinking about is GURPS CYBERPUNK, which the Secret Service encouraged us to believe was the object of the raid, but testimony at the trial indicated that that was not the case. The SS was ignorantly indifferent to free speech and publisher's rights, rather than taking direct aim at them. See www.io.com/SS/ for more information. Our case was a victory, but if it is cited in support of irrelevancies, it has no more meaning than if it is forgotten completely. Steve Jackson, sj@io.com - this will do till I fix my .sig file . . .
