The article "SPACEWAR: Fanatic Life and Symbolic Death Among the Computer Bums" by Stewart Brand of Whole Earth Catalog fame, with photos by Annie Leibovitz, was published on the Dec 7, 1972 issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
It covered hacker culture in the Bay Area, mostly at Stanford and Xerox PARC. The article made PARC widely known, contributed to its myth, and caused some consternation among Xerox management.
