About this listen

We Are Anonymous is a thrilling, exclusive expose of the hacker collectives Anonymous and LulzSec.

In late 2010, thousands of hacktivists joined a mass digital assault by Anonymous on the websites of VISA, MasterCard, and PayPal to protest their treatment of WikiLeaks. Splinter groups then infiltrated the networks of totalitarian governments in Libya and Tunisia, and an elite team of six people calling themselves LulzSec attacked the FBI, CIA, and Sony. They were flippant and taunting, grabbed headlines, and amassed more than a quarter of a million Twitter followers. The computer security world - and world at large - realized quickly that Anonymous and its splinter groups are something to treat with dead seriousness.

Through the stories of three key members, We Are Anonymous offers a gripping, adrenaline-fueled narrative in the style of The Accidental Billionaires, drawing upon hundreds of conversations with the members themselves, including exclusive interviews. By coming to know them - their childhoods, families, and personal demons - we come to know the human side of their virtual exploits, and why they're so passionate about disrupting the Internet's frontiers.

Not an Insider Perspective

From the title, I assumed this would be a inside perspective with actual interviews, but it's basically just chat logs read in weird voices with lots of weird speculation about the hackers gender. The writing is heavily biased and the narrator really ran with that, trying to make the hackers sound like villians. We hear sob stories of those who worked against anonymous but the personal lives of actual members are only mentioned as means for them to be manipulated by authorities. The author concludes the book by stating that anonymous are just a bunch of immature boys with psychological problems... 14 hrs of poor journalism for a poor thesis
