>> - Exploding The Phone (Lapsley): Super engrossing description of the phone phreak scene almost from its start to its end

Haven't heard of this one, sounds right up my alley too!

I need to check out more Gaiman too, I really enjoyed Neverwhere

Ocean at the End of the Lane is a great 2nd to read if you enjoyed Neverwhere!

I was also listening to Evan Doorbell’s telephone tapes [1] as I read Exploding the Phone, which was super interesting because you can see the events of the book line-up with some of the comments Evan and other phreaks make on the tapes (like phone company security agents harassing them at their schools)
