The MIT hacking culture has given us such treasures as police cars and cows on the Great Dome and a disappearing door to the President's office. 'Nightwork' includes material from two previous books published by the MIT Museum and new materials on recenthacks.

If you're into these sort of pranks look at these books: http://www.amazon.com/Nightwork-History-Hacks-Pranks-MIT/dp/... http://www.bookstore.caltech.edu/caltech/shop_product_detail...
on “A visual history of MIT pranks” ↗It comes to mind the excellent book "Nightwork: A History of Hacks and Pranks at MIT" by T. F. Peterson. Highly recommended (and it does contain the two competing hacks of the link IIRC).
on “Which MIT hack is the best ever? ” ↗There's a book called Nightwork from MIT Press that sort of covers the history of hacks and related. (I think I have a couple photos in the original edition and I was involved in a fairly minor one.)
