Historiographical Shift in Hacker Studies

Interesting historiographical note about hacker studies is the way in which free software & system design is the focal subject of the 60s and 70s by writers in the 80s, but as we move into the 90s and 00s writers shift to a focus on information security and now in the 10s we're seeing a sort of hybrid model that includes both subjects, but also includes other techno-social activities like maker culture.
