A FOR ANONYMOUS shows how a leaderless band of volunteers successfully used hacktivism to fight for the underdog, embarrass their rich and powerful targets-from Sony and Paypal to the Church of Scientology and Ferguson Police Department-all in the name of freedom of speech and information. Their exploits blurred the distinction between ""online"" and ""reality,"" and help shape our contemporary world.

Reviews for A for Anonymous (GN): How a Mysterious Hacker Collective Transformed the World

Scenes of hacktivists sitting at their computers are made compelling by Shadmi's clever use of surrealist imagery. A thought-provoking history of an oft-misunderstood subject, as well as the evolution of social protests over the past three decades.--Library Journal
