Hack to the Future by Emily Crose provides a summary of the history of the United States government's varied involvement with hacker culture, examining key events that have shaped public and government views of the hacking community. She takes readers on a journey from the early days when hackers were seen as social outcasts to their current position as significant figures in global geopolitics.

Emily Crose highlights crucial moments such as the release of the Morris worm and the Melissa virus, which fundamentally changed how hackers were perceived and treated by society, the state, and even within their own subculture. The book reveals how different government agencies, including the National Security Agency (NSA) and NASA, interacted with domestic hackers, moving from adversaries to collaborators.
