520    "Here is the ultimate book on the worldwide movement of 
       hackers, pranksters, and activists that operates under the
       non-name Anonymous, by the writer the Huffington 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.""--|cProvided by publisher.
