[Air-L] Scholarly books on geek culture?

[Shawna Kelly]

Nick asks a good question. Since it's a class on "deviance" I'd recommend
two good books: Mia Consolvo's Cheating and Doug Thomas' Hacker Culture.
Both books look at concepts of breaking rules and breaking norms within
facets of geek culture.
