In this episode, Adam and David examine the transforming portrayal of hacking through film, television and video games. They watch the movie Hackers (1995) and discuss how 1995 became a benchmark year for cyber awareness. They talk about the evolution of the representation of hacking through video games like Bioshock (2007), Fallout 3 (2008) to more recent games like Hacknet (2015). We discuss early films like WarGames (1983), Johnny Mnemonic (1995) and The Net (1995) to more contemporary films like Skyfall (2012). And we do it all while cracking jokes and talking in funny voices.
