Title: Nice, but doesn't live up to its predecessors
Review: This is an entertaining book full of pictures of MIT hacks and anecdotes and essays on hacking. However, much of the material is reprinted from the more lengthy and generally superior previous two books on MIT's hacking tradition, "Is This the Way to Baker House?" and "The Journal of the Institute for Hacks, Tomfoolery & Pranks at MIT". I bought this book since it includes some more recent hacks than either of those two. Nightwork is worth buying, but if you really want good books on hacking at MIT, find yourself used copies of the other two.
