Kickstarter launch: Bootblock Rebels - The Hidden Stars of the Amiga Underground

[bitman]

Bootblock Rebels - The Hidden Stars of the Amiga Underground is now live on Kickstarter.

The project is a new book focused on the Amiga cracking scene and the wider underground - BBS culture, intros, scrolltexts, rivalries, friendships, and the people behind the aliases. The book is built around first-hand stories and original source material, rather than a dry A-Z history.

The cover for Bootblock Rebels will be created by J.O.E. the legendary Amiga scene artist known from Scoopex, TRSI, WOW and many more classic intros, cracktros, and demo releases.

In recent years J.O.E has returned to the scene, creating new graphics for C64 demo productions - so it’s a truly active scener bringing real scene DNA into the book.

Outside the scene, J.O.E works professionally as a visual effects artist, credited on major productions including Avatar, King Kong, Titanic, Apollo 13, X-Men, and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, among many others.

The Kickstarter ends March 15, the biggest help is still simple: share the campaign link in a relevant group or DM it to an Amiga friend.
