Epic Win for Anonymous

Book Jacket for: Epic win for Anonymous : how 4chan's army conquered the WebThe book Epic Win for Anonymous by Cole Stryker while being very good was not what I thought it would be when I checked it out.  I thought it would be about the hacker collective Anonymous.  Instead it was a more general portrait of what might be termed the participatory Internet.  It traced the history of online communities from the very early days of the Internet right up through the current day taking a look at how they’ve changed over time and what they offer society in general.  All in all a very interesting, though I can’t help but feel misleadingly titled, book. 

I would recommend it
