HACKER, HOAXER, WHISTLEBLOWER, SPY: THE MANY FACES OF ANONYMOUS

Book ID/图书代码： 13850014B68509

English Summary/英文概要： An engrossing, fascinating report from inside Anonymous, by the scholar who was embedded in the international movement

Here is the definitive book on the worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists that operates under the name Anonymous, by the woman the Chronicle of Higher Education calls “the leading interpreter of digital insurgency” and 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 collective just as some of its adherents were turning to political protest and disruption (before Anonymous shot to fame as a key player in the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street). She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that some Anons claimed her as “their scholar,” and the FBI asked her to inform on the movement (a request she refused). Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy brims with detail from inside a mysterious subculture, including chats with imprisoned hacker Jeremy Hammond and the hacker who helped put him away, Hector “Sabu” Monsegur. It’s a beautifully written book, with fascinating insights into the meaning of digital activism and little understood facets of culture in the Internet age, such as the histories of “trolling” and “the lulz.”

長期深入國際運動的學者，對駭客軍團「匿名者」內部引人入勝的報導。

這是一本舉足輕重的書，談論駭客、惡搞網友、社運人士以「匿名者」這個名字在全球發起的運動。《高等教育紀事報》(the Chronicle of Higher Education) 稱此書作者為「數位暴動重要的詮釋者」，《哈芬登郵報》(Huffington Post)認為作者知道所有「匿名者」最深入、最黑暗的秘密。
六年前，人類學家嘉布瑞爾．柯爾曼著手進行研究，調查這個集結全球的組織興起過程，正巧「匿名者」的追隨者開始發起政治抗爭，然後分裂，(在「匿名者」因「阿拉伯之春」及「占領華爾街」等活動聲名大噪之前)。她與「匿名者」關係開始變得緊密，甚至有些「匿名者」成員稱她為「他們的學者」，FBI也曾請她舉發活動(她拒絕了這項要求)。
《駭客、詐欺者、告密者、間諜》提供這個神祕次文化的細節，包括與正在坐牢的駭客傑瑞米．哈蒙德(Jeremy Hammond)的談話，以及協助逮捕哈蒙德的線人赫克特．撒布．蒙瑟古爾(Hector “Sabu” Monsegur)的訪問。這是一本出色的書，同時解釋網路社運的意義，提供關於網路世代的小知識，例如：網路小白(trolling)以及lol的歷史。(Ramona)
