Description
Hacktivism and Cyberwars: A Radical Form of Online Protest This book explores the evolution of hacktivism from its early days to its current status as a radical face of online politics. Tim Jordan and Paul Taylor examine how hacking techniques have been re-appropriated to create innovative forms of political protest. The authors describe various strands of hacktivism, including groups like the Electronic Disturbance Theatre, and provide context for their role in new social movements, direct action, and the globalization debate. By exploring the full range of hacktivist activities, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the internet's impact on society. A key contribution to our understanding of the digital divide, Hacktivism and Cyberwars provides an important corrective to mainstream accounts of e-commerce and broadens the conceptualization of the internet.
