Coding Democracy: How Hackers Are Disrupting Power, Surveillance, and Authoritarianism
Maureen Webb explores the role of hackers in shaping democracy in the digital age. She argues that hacking is not just about destructive acts, but also a practice that inspires new forms of activism and decentralized democracy.
The book examines how hackers are trying to "build out" democracy into cyberspace, confronting concentrations of power, mass surveillance, and authoritarianism enabled by new technology.
