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.

• HackerFlicks on Hackerspaces.org offers a good choice of movies inspiring the hacker culture n
• Dennou Coil Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia may be a controversial choice, but the lab shown early in the movie and the notion of creating technology is very hackerspace'y.

• Makers by Cory Doctorow 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 Wikipedia
• Homeland by Cory Doctorow Wikipedia

• Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis Wikipedia - not really about hackers, but a postcyberpunk journalist/activist uncovering dirty truths behind elections. Lots of tech-goodies.
• Hacktivist by Alyssa Milano Goodreads 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.

• Dresden Codak by Aaron Diaz Webcomic 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 - a comic about super hero dealing with regular life after self-imposed “retirement”, with strong social justice themes
• Questionable Content Webcomic TVTropes - 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 TVTropes - a beautiful and very upbeat webcomic set in a post-apocalyptic Scandinavia. Rich colors, well-written cast.
• Mare Internum Webcomic TVTropes - quasi-hard science fiction story set on Mars. Few main characters, great atmosphere
• Weregeek Webcomic TVTropes - a strip based comic with an interesting take on a community of geeks and RPG playes

• else heart.break() - game about a hacker community and learning first steps in it
• Ghost in the ShellCode - 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
