The definitive work on Anonymous, the global movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists.
This book, which was inspired by years of conversations and encounters with a variety of hackers, including activist Jeremy Hammond who is currently in prison and the double agent who assisted in his arrest, is full of insights into the meaning of digital activism and little-known facets of Internet-era culture, such as the history of "trolling," the ethics and metaphysics of hacking, and the origins and various meanings of "the lulz."
