New Amiga book_ Boot block Rebels (cracking)
category: residue [glöplog]
Bootblock Rebels - The Hidden Stars of the Amiga Underground
I just launched a Kickstarter for a book about the Commodore Amiga cracking scene - from the early days (1985), the peak years (1990-1993), and the fade-out around 1996.
It’s story-driven, based on interviews and original scene material - groups, suppliers, BBS life, zero-day races, rivalries, nukes, cracktros, and the hidden economy behind it all.
I’m still collecting content. If you were part of the scene (any role - cracker, sysop, supplier, swapper, coder, trader, courier, magazine reviewer, publisher side, whatever), I would love to hear your story. Old photos, scans, screenshots, logs, disks, letters - anything from that period is welcome.

I see! but let see if it's ugly when J.O.E have done his magic thing first, that art he made long time ago is a classic nowdays, but your work with Arte is also very good, so I understand you point here. hmm why don't you make Amiga productions, like you did back in the 90's? I (and many other sceners i presume) would love too se more nice Amiga art from you with SAGA graphics in a future production on a A6000 Amiga.
Stretch goal 4 ahead! going forward to the poster! 
Wunderbar! Vidunderligt! Underbart! Stretch goal 5 (J.O.E poster) is coming! 🤩
