EPIC WIN FOR ANONYMOUS

In EPIC WIN FOR ANONYMOUS (Overlook Press), Cole Stryker chronicle the genesis of the rogue anti-security groups-including LulzSec, AntiSec and the hactivist collective notorious for its recent cyber attacks against WikiLeaks censors.

Even though this group has been all over the news recently, most people still don't know where Anonymous came from, what motivates it, and why the group is notorious for attacking everyone from harmless 11-year old girls to multinational corporations. It also might be worth directing editors' attention to the increasing media attention the movement Occupy Wall Street--which is sponsored by the group, Anonymous--has been getting in foreign territories, especially after the massive movements around the world this past weekend. A few select articles with compelling images can be seen from ABC news, and CNN. EPIC WIN FOR ANONYMOUS has been covered in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Observer, Salon among several other major media outlets, including web and TV spots, with many more media appearances upcoming. With EPIC WIN FOR ANONYMOUS, Cole Stryker gives us an expert account on Anonymous--the first to do so.

Whether chronicling how Sarah Palin‘s personal email account was hacked, illuminating the history of the forums that inspired 4chan and Anonymous, or explaining the threat of cyber bullying, Cole Strylcer‘s engrossing and approachable EPIC WIN FOR ANONYMOUS proves the transformative cultural impact of the Internet and the communities it sustains.
