Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous – Review
The definitive account of the rise of the hacktivist collective
By David Gilbert
“I spoke to a real-life friend today about Anonymous and he seems to
have some vision of disembodied brains held in suspension, orbiting the
Earth in battle satellites or something.”
This quote sums up the challenge facing Gabriella Coleman when she sat
down to write Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of
Anonymous.
However, Coleman is more qualified that virtually anyone else in the
world to speak authoritatively about the group, having spent countless
hours watching, talking to and meeting the people who make up this
mysterious collective.
As an anthropologist, Coleman's interest was initially piqued by the
emergence of an activist sensibility within Anonymous in 2008, but by
the end of this book it is clear that Coleman had become personally
invested in this movement and the people who wear its mask.
