Hacker of the year nominee: Gromit the Dog


The Cyber Show podcast. Three real hackers, diverse in their world views and politics unite in a passionate, deeply critical quest to understand our technological society.

Our media lionises fakes, frauds, impostors, witty and beautiful science "presenter personalities", or greedy, sinister clown technologists who call themselves laughable things like "thought leaders" or "amoral business investors". Despite that time Preston the robot dog attempted to frame him for mistreatment of sheep, Gromit has never been involved in any sex scandals, Bond-villain paedophile island romps, or running Dickensian child-slave factories, unlike his human counterparts in the technology industry. He's an expert at Electronics for Dogs and after a session with highbrow literature like Fido Dogstoyevsky, he's equally at home with practical tasks, sawing, drilling, welding or other jobs as befit an inventors assistant.
