From consumer advocates to criminals, the readers of 2600: The Hacker Quarterly are a diverse and dedicated lot. Corporate spies, adolescent rebels and their worried parents, computer geeks, anarchists, survivalists, private eyes, representatives of law enforcement-they read the magazine, and they write letters. Amusing letters. Insightful letters. Letters that reveal genius, and letters that frighten you out of your socks.

Emmanuel Goldstein saw his first letter to the editor published in The New York Post at the age of eight. Immediately he was addicted to the discourse that occurs in a "letters" section.

In high school during the late 1970s, Goldstein became enchanted with computers. His infatuation soon got him into trouble as he discovered he could access things he shouldn't. A few years and an FBI raid later, he co-founded 2600: The Hacker Quarterly as an outlet for stories and tutorials from hackers around the world.

Since 1988, Goldstein has hosted Off the Hook, a hacker-themed radio talk show airing on WBAI FM in New York City. In 1994 he organized the first HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) conference, held every other year, which attracts attendees from points around the globe. Goldstein served as technical consultant for the 1995 feature film Hackers, and has testified before Congress on the issue of hacking and where the threat actually lies.

To this day, Emmanuel Goldstein has never taken a course in computers.
