We have all heard of them, but what is a hacker really? Is there anything beyond the hooded man who, locked in a dark basement, types rapidly to try to bypass computer security systems?

Carlo Milani defines hacker, above all, as an attitude: a predisposition to undo the logics of domination imposed on us by technologies, whose complexity often forces us to subordinate ourselves to the figure of the "expert." Thus, a hacker is not necessarily someone who tries to declassify Pentagon documents, but anyone who wants to establish a relationship of equals with those "technical beings" - mobile phones, computers, household appliances - with whom we live every day. Starting from Ivan Illich's thesis, Milani proposes a reconfiguration of our technosocial vision, freeing it from the order-obedience logic of the hierarchical imaginary and proposing a new convivial link with machines.
