I worked for a year for Pengu, one of the hackers. I never dared to ask about that part of his path. He had a custom arcade game running the game in the office, that was the closest thing to the topic. He really moved on with his life.

If you wonder, at the time, the company was doing claims processing for a big insurance company in the US

I met up with Hans on X.25 just a couple years after the book came out, when he was at Artcom. I found him to be incredibly nice, and he even ran a small BBS and was helping me get a VAX account to explore VMS a bit. I don't recall why, but we eventually lost touch. This year I noticed him on Github doing some hardware-related stuff though.
