I'm pretty sure the movie Hackers was loosely based on Masters of Deception -- a hacker classic. I still have my copy from being a dumbass teenager and using a red box to use payphones for free. I remember it as being a great book but I haven't read it for almost 20 years.

I rarely re-read... but you have tempted me.
[EN] Historical Novel based off the first 2 hacker groups... and the electronic war they had between them... Masters of Deception and Lords of Destruction. It is written in a way that is understandable by non-computer people. https://www.amazon.com/Masters-Deception-Gang-Ruled-Cyberspace/dp/0060926945 For those who are interested.
