Schneier has a rather idiosyncratic and expansive definition of hacking. In this book, hacking is any effort to try to subvert the purpose of a system by exploiting flaws in its structure:
Hack: a clever,unintended exploitation of a system that (a) subverts the rules or norms of the system, (b) at the expense of someone else affected by the system.
So most of the hacks described here aren't particularly technological; they are things like finding legal loopholes or bugs in the rules for frequent-flyer miles programs, and the like.
Venture capital as such is not a hack, but VC markets like Uber and food delivery services are because they subvert market dynamics (?) p100
