What is Hacktivism? In The Coming Swarm, rising star Molly Sauter
examines the history, development, theory, and practice of
distributed denial of service actions as a tactic of political
activism. The internet is a vital arena of communication, self
expression, and interpersonal organizing. When there is a message
to convey, words to get out, or people to unify, many will turn to
the internet as a theater for that activity. As familiar and widely
accepted activist tools-petitions, fundraisers, mass
letter-writing, call-in campaigns and others-find equivalent
practices in the online space, is there also room for the tactics
of disruption and civil disobedience that are equally familiar from
the realm of street marches, occupations, and sit-ins? With a
historically grounded analysis, and a focus on early deployments of
activist DDOS as well as modern instances to trace its development
over time, The Coming Swarm uses activist DDOS actions as the
foundation of a larger analysis of the practice of disruptive civil
disobedience on the internet.
