## Fiction

A list of all hacker community related projects, not everything geeky and nerdy. While Ghost in the Shell or Deus Ex may be great works themselves, they don't feature _communities_, so please dont list them.

### Movies

- [HackerFlicks](https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/HackerFlicks) on Hackerspaces.org offers a good choice of movies inspiring the hacker culture
n
- **Dennou Coil** [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denn%C5%8D_Coil) is a sci-fi story of a detective agency formed by children to investigate Augmented / Virtual Reality problems. Quite a strong emphasis on community. 
- **Big Hero 6** [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Hero_6_(film) | Wikipedia]] may be a controversial choice, but the lab shown early in the movie and the notion of _creating_ technology is very hackerspace'y.

### Books

- **Makers** by Cory Doctorow [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makers_(novel)|Wikipedia]] - a book focused on makers / inventors and shantytown community build around them. Sadly, nothing resembling a dynamic hackerspace community
- **Little Brother** by Cory Doctorow [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Brother_(Doctorow_novel)|Wikipedia]]
- **Homeland** by Cory Doctorow [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeland_(Cory_Doctorow_novel)|Wikipedia]]

### Comics

- **Transmetropolitan** by Warren Ellis [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmetropolitan) - not really about hackers, but a postcyberpunk journalist/activist uncovering dirty truths behind elections. Lots of tech-goodies.
- **Hacktivist** by Alyssa Milano [Goodreads](http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20736579-hacktivist) would be absolutely what Glider Ink is striving for if it had more community work and less white guy getting the girl. The story of hackers helping human rights activists / freeing the elections in Tunisia is sadly only a minor theme.

### Webcomics

- **Dresden Codak** by Aaron Diaz [Webcomic](http://dresdencodak.com/) a cult webcomic dealing with hacker mindset and a lot of tropes from hacker culture. High fantasy / sci-fi.
- **Strong Female Protagonist** by Brennan Lee Mulligan and Molly Ostertag [Webcomic](http://strongfemaleprotagonist.com/) - a comic about super hero dealing with regular life after self-imposed "retirement", with strong social justice themes
- **Questionable Content** [Webcomic](http://questionablecontent.net/) [TVTropes](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/QuestionableContent) - one of the most running and best slice-of-life comics on the Internet, good inspiration for a rich cast
- **Stay Still Stay Silent** [Webcomic](http://www.sssscomic.com/) [TVTropes](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent) - a beautiful and very upbeat webcomic set in a post-apocalyptic Scandinavia. Rich colors, well-written cast.
- **Mare Internum** [Webcomic](http://www.marecomic.com/) [TVTropes](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/MareInternum) - quasi-hard science fiction story set on Mars. Few main characters, great atmosphere
- **Weregeek** [Webcomic](http://www.weregeek.com/) [TVTropes](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/Weregeek) - a strip based comic with an interesting take on a community of geeks and RPG playes


### Games

- [else heart.break()](http://elseheartbreak.com/) - game about a hacker *community* and learning first steps in it
- [Ghost in the ShellCode](http://ghostintheshellcode.com) - not really a game, but a CTF exercise, worth noting for its style and task playfulness

**DONT YOU DARE ADD ANY CYBERPUNK GAME. ITS ABOUT REAL HACKERSPACES, NOT ADAM JENSEN**
