Here's a really good article by Mark Pesce (Mr. VRML, and maybe he was with Survival Research Labs?) A history of hacker culture organized around the major works of "hard" science fiction. I'm not familiar with the most recent book he ends with (Greg Egan's Diaspora (1998)) but everything else seems right on. Great paper. I'll have to take a look at Diaspora.
