"Meet Adam. He's a mid-level engineer at a mid-level software company
in a cookie-cutter California office park. He can code a handful of
languages, has a penchant for computer vision and enjoys soccer and
skiing. In short, Adam has little to distinguish him from legions of
other programmers in the Bay Area. Except that over a couple of nights
in 2011, he stopped thousands of people from sharing in $50,000,
nudged the American military in a new direction, and may have changed
crowdsourcing forever."
