I adjusted the game’s rules to keep everyone playing: I didn’t remove chairs, ensuring that there was always one child without a seat.

But, by and large, it refers to a kind of aesthetics of hacking. For instance, repurposing things in an unexpected way can be said to have hack value; as can contributing anonymously to collectively used configurations, in the spirit of free software. Steven Levy, in his book Hackers, talks at length about what he calls a “hacker ethic.” But as Brian Harvey has argued, that expression may be a misnomer and that what he discovered was in fact a hacker aesthetic. For example, when free-software developer Richard Stallman says that information should be given out freely—an opinion universally held in hacker circles—his opinion is not only based on a notion of property as theft, which would be an ethical position. His argument is that keeping information secret is inefficient; it leads to an absurd, unaesthetic duplication of effort amongst the information’s usership. -## See also: +## Further references Wark, McKenzie. *![A Hacker Manifesto](bib:7aa9b6f9-7184-4472-a059-3852301f3fb3)*.

Delinquency is thus a product of penal systems, not merely an extension of illegalism. This form of controlled, pathologized delinquency allows authorities to regulate illegal practices while retaining prisons as central institutions, despite their “failures.” The success of the prison, then, is in producing an enclosed, manageable form of illegalism. -## See also +## Further references Vásquez, Delio.
