Efrem Lipkin(born in New York) was an American hacker-activist known for being the co-founder (along with Lee Felsenstein and Ken Colstad of Community Memory in Berkeley, California in 1973. While working for a company in Cambridge, Massachusetts he became concerned at the thought of his work being involved with antipersonnel weapons during Vietnam. Unlike most hackers who worked for universities and companies that were funded by the Defense Department, the ethics of his work was a major concern and a motivation for him to move from Massachusetts to California. He co-founded Community Memory to bring computers to average people, allowing individuals to walk in and play hacker-made computer games or write code of their own.
