Nightwork: A History of Hacks and Pranks at MIT (first edition, 2003; ISBN9780262661379);[1] (revised edition, 2011; ISBN978-0-262-51584-9) is a book which presents a historical catalog of some of the best-known MIThacks (technically sophisticated practical jokes) as well as a series of essays reflecting on the cultural significance of hacks. MIT is one of the most selective university in the United States, with a long-standing hacker tradition.
The first edition's cover shows the Green Building with its windows lit up to show the letter "N". This alludes to various hacks that have been done there.
Nightwork combines The Journal of the Institute for Hacks, TomFoolery, and Pranks at MIT (J. IHTFP) with Is This The Way To Baker House? and new elements.[2] The "author" of Nightwork is listed as "Institute Historian T. F. Peterson", which is a reference to the MIT cultural acronym IHTFP.[citation needed]
