As global society becomes more and more dependent, politically and
economically on the flow of information, the power of those who can
disrupt and manipulate that flow also increases. In Hacktivism and
Cyberwars: Rebels with a Cause? Tim Jordan and Paul Taylor provide
a detailed history of hacktivism's evolution from early hacking
culture to its present day status as the radical face of online
politics. They describe the ways in which hacktivism has
re-appropriated hacking techniques to create an innovative new form
of political protest. A full explanation is given of the different
strands of hacktivism and the 'cyberwars' it has created, ranging
from such avant garde groups as the Electronic Disturbance Theatre
to more virtually focused groups labelled 'the digitally correct'.
The full social and historical context of hacktivism is portrayed
to take into account its position in terms of new social movements,
direct action and its contribution to the globalization debate.
