Kevin Mitnick was hunted down by the FBI for being a so called dangerous hacker and there was so much media attention that A Film was made. When he got out of prison he wrote a book called The Art of Deception that talks about Social Engineering, but his publisher made him remove the first introductory chapter.
Well now you can read it Here, on his girlfriend's website (might be wife, not sure). A very interesting read about how he got into hacking, what interested him and what really happened in court.
