At the launch of her new book Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy, Gabriella Coleman was joined by Astra Taylor and Molly Crabapple to disintangle the maze-like nature of Annonymous, the hacker collective which Coleman has spent half a dozen years submerged in. 



Coleman traces the political and a-political actions of the annonymous collective, and unravels their constant evolution; their use of hacking for everything from the ethically suspect lulz, to revealing outrageous cases of corporate spying, and successfully shaming multi-nationals into improving their digital privacy standards.
