A for Anonymous: How a Mysterious Hacker Collective Transformed the World
The illustrated, inside story of the legendary hacktivist group's origins and most daring exploits.
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.

Praise for this book
"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
