Hacker, hoaxer, whistleblower, spy : the many faces of Anonymous / Gabriella Coleman. by Coleman, Gabriella. Verso, 2014. Call #: 364.168 C692h Subjects Anonymous (Group)   Whistle blowing -- Political aspects.   Hacktivism.   Hackers -- Political activity.   Internet -- Political aspects.   Social media -- Moral and ethical aspects.   Social media -- Political aspects.   Online identities. ISBN:  9781781685839 (hc.) 1781685835 (hc.) Description:  452 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. Notes:  Includes index. Summary:  "The worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists that operates under the non-name Anonymous, by the writer who "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 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," and the ethics and metaphysics of hacking.--Provided by publisher.
