Bootblock Rebels – The Hidden Stars of the Amiga Underground is a hardcover book about the people, groups and stories that shaped the Amiga cracking scene.
Rather than telling a broad A-Z history of the Amiga, the book focuses on the underground itself – the crackers, swappers, suppliers, sysops and sceners who operated behind the scenes and helped build a culture that spread across disks, mail, BBS boards and copy parties. It draws on first-hand interviews, original scene material, diskmags, scrolltexts and other contemporary sources to document how the scene worked, who was involved, and how it intersected with the wider Amiga world.
This is a preorder. Estimated shipping is January 2027.
Payment is collected at the time of ordering via Stripe. Standard refund and return terms apply.
