What is "hipcrime"

HipCrime refers both to the screenname of a Usenet user and software application distributed by, and presumably written by, this individual or group. The name derives from a neologism in the John Brunner science fiction novel Stand on Zanzibar.

Hipcrime may refer to:

• The Hipcrime Vocab, a fictional book in the 1968 novel Stand on Zanzibar
• Hipcrime (Usenet), a notorious Usenet vandal, and the software presumably written by this individual.
