Mackenzie Wark, "Nature," in A Hacker Manifesto, (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2009).

"143. Friedrich Nietzsche, Unfashionable Observations (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1995), p. 80. By standing outside both culture an education, Nietzsche was uniquely alive to the way both, as weak forms of power, nevertheless exerted a strong pressure in misshaping the bodies of those who practice them to their disciplines and procedures, , and how they offered illusory compensations in the form of subjective identities for the inescapable fact that real power was elsewhere. Nietzsche, for all his foibles, points the hacker away from resentment and toward cunning, which is to say, away from the moral and toward the political. He is also, in the Birth of Tragedy, clearly the originator of critical media theory."
