Il cyberspazio è una ossessione per Bruce. Per capire le sue idee, basta leggere il documento HACKER CRACKDOWN, gratuitamente in rete: http://www.mit.edu:8001/hacker/hacker.html 

Si scopre che Bruce ha le idee molto chiare sul fatto che il futuro sta cambiando le persone e le relazioni tra le persone. Ovviamente il saggio si concentra sulla cultura hacker e sul ruolo che svolge anche politicamente. Infatti: "The hackers of the digital underground are an hermetic elite. They find it hard to make any remotely convincing case for their actions in front of the general public. Actually, hackers roundly despise the "ignorant" public, and have never trusted the judgement of "the system." Hackers do propagandize, but only among themselves, mostly in giddy, badly spelled manifestos of class warfare, youth rebellion or naive techie utopianism. Hackers must strut and boast in order to establish and preserve their underground reputations. But if they speak out too loudly and publicly, they will break the fragile surface-tension of the underground, and they will be harrassed or arrested. Over the longer term, most hackers stumble, get busted, get betrayed, or simply give up."
