A new book project, Bootblock Rebels - The Hidden Stars of the Amiga Underground, has launched on Kickstarter.

The book documents the Commodore Amiga cracking scene from its early roots in 1985 through its peak years (1990-1993) and the decline of the active scene around 1996.

Based on interviews and archival research, the book aims to capture the real mechanics and culture of the scene: the race-to-release mentality, supplier networks, bulletin board distribution, group hierarchies, rivalries, cracktros, and the behind-the-scenes economy that powered it all.
