<b><span style="font-weight:bold">HACKERS</span></b>, starring Angelina Jolie,
Jonny Lee Miller, and Matthew Lillard, pits a group of Nintendo-generation
"keyboard cowboys" against an evil former hacker turned corporate
computer security chief who is trying to frame them for his own nefarious crimes.
Featuring enormous videogame imagery, a '90s cyberculture aesthetic, and a
terrific electronica soundtrack (not to mention discussion of wildly futuristic
devices like 28.8k modems), this 1995 film is a cult favorite. </span></font><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;

Guest speaker Jesse Schell has created a stir with his theory of the
“Gamepocalypse,” a future “beyond Facebook,” where
games have converged with reality to the point that everything in life is a
game. “Hackers<b><span style="font-weight:bold"> </span></b>is a
fascinating movie,” he says, “because its captures the growing
sense that the main purpose of technology is for fun and games.”
Before the film, Schell will talk about which parts of <b><span style="font-weight:bold">HACKERS</span></b> have come true, will come true, and
will never come true, and where technology and gaming are headed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Schell is professor of entertainment
