A list of works of art, cliches and tropes which should be avoided due to their misinterpretation of the hacker movement.

WATCH_DOGS 2 is a game which describes modern hacker movement in one of the most technologically vibrant places in the world: San Francisco. It contains a whole lot of misrepresentations:

• Hacking equals hacktivism. No one is working on open source projects to help their community. No one is investigating a technology out of curiosity.
• Hackerspace as a gang. Members steal, destroy property, embezzle money, hurt people (either lethally or not). Community service is shown as a disgrace.
• Technology is a magical joke. Characters 3D-print fully assembled drones, weapons.
