Nearing the finish line! Looking to finally launch the book on June 1st. Subscribe to my substack for more info, and for content not suitable for YT!

Thrilled to have a beautiful Preface written by the one and only Gary McKinnon:

In an age when the line between outlaw and innovator grows ever blurrier, The Hacker Prince emerges as a timely and gripping chronicle of digital rebellion, identity, and self-discovery. Michael P. Wilkerson’s memoir isn’t just the tale of a young man’s descent into—and rise through—the burgeoning world of hacking in the 1980s and '90s. It is, at its core, a human story: of seeking belonging, navigating personal trauma, confronting injustice, and trying to outwit a system that was itself learning the rules as it went.

The narrative brims with the electric pulse of a world on the cusp of the internet age. Wilkerson’s voice is raw and refreshingly candid, drawing us through adolescent escapism, painful misunderstandings, and the intoxicating thrill of outsmarting Goliaths with nothing but curiosity and a keyboard. What stands out most, however, is not his technical prowess, but his vulnerability. Here is someone who, like so many misfit visionaries before him, turned alienation into exploration—and hardship into a kind of heroic subversion.

The events chronicled in The Hacker Prince aren’t merely historical anecdotes; they offer critical insight into how digital pioneers shaped—and were shaped by—the very systems that now define our lives. As readers, we’re invited not just to observe, but to reflect: on surveillance and freedom, punishment and passion, and what it really means to challenge authority in a world increasingly governed by code.

Whether you're a technophile, a truth-seeker, or simply drawn to stories of defiance and redemption, Wilkerson’s journey will leave a mark. It reminds us that sometimes, the ones society casts out as threats are, in fact, its most necessary mirrors—and its most unlikely heroes.

Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce that the Kindle version of my book is now available for pre-order on Amazon. If you have enjoyed the content on my channel over the last 7 years, but have never supported the channel with donations, purchasing and writing a review for the book on Amazon would be a wonderful way to support the work I have done. Sales and reviews in the first week of release are crucial for Amazon algorithms. Unfortunately, pre-order is not available for the paperback/hardback edition. Many have asked for a signed copy of the book. Unfortunately, this is cost prohibitive as the price for shipping/import taxes from Europe to the US (the primary market for the book) would nearly double the price of the book.
