Here is the ultimate book on the worldwide movement of hackers,
pranksters, and activists that operates under the non-name
Anonymous, by the writer theHuffington Post says "knows all of
Anonymous' deepest, darkest secrets." Half a dozen years ago,
anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this
global phenomenon just as some of its members were turning to
political protest and dangerous disruption (before Anonymous shot
to fame as a key player in the battles over WikiLeaks, the Arab
Spring, and Occupy Wall Street). She ended up becoming so closely
connected to Anonymous that the tricky story of her inside-outside
status as Anon confidante, interpreter, and erstwhile mouthpiece
forms one of the themes of this witty and entirely engrossing
book.The narrative brims with details unearthed from within a
notoriously mysterious subculture, whose semi-legendary tricksters
- such as Topiary, tflow, Anachaos, and Sabu - emerge as complex,
diverse, politically and culturally sophisticated people. Propelled
by years of chats and encounters with a multitude of hackers,
including imprisoned activist Jeremy Hammond and the double agent
who helped put him away, Hector Monsegur, Hacker, Hoaxer,
Whistleblower, Spy is filled with insights into the meaning of
digital activism and little understood facets of culture in the
Internet age, including the history of "trolling," the ethics and
metaphysics of hacking, and the origins and manifold meanings of
"the lulz."
