Nightwork: A History of Hacks and Pranks at MIT

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: A History of Hacks and Pranks at MIT (revised edition, 2011) (ISBN 978-0-262-51584-9) is a history of the best-known hacks (flamboyant practical jokes) which have taken place at MIT. MIT is one of the most selective universities in the United States, with a famous hacker tradition.

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. Note that the "author" of "Nightwork" is listed as "Institute Historian T. F. Peterson", which is a reference to the MIT cultural acronym IHTFP.
