Parmy Olson is the London Bureau Chief for Forbes Magazine.
"We Are Anonymous is a highly recommended entry point to begin to
understand what that hidden culture is, where it comes from, and
how it's influencing the mainstream. Olson doesn't just give the
reader a recap of events since 2008 (the first en masse attack by
Anonymous), her sympathetic account shows why people find Anonymous
attractive, and why, despite its rough edges, much of what it does
and stands for is something that should be promoted." --
PopMatters
"A detailed account of the hacker collective Anonymous and its
splinter group, LulzSec....Certain to thrill 4chan readers, hackers
and others on the Internet's fringe."--Kirkus Reviews
"A lively, startling book that reads as 'The Social Network' for
group hackers. As in that Facebook film the technological
innovations created by a few people snowball wildly beyond
expectation, until they have mass effect. But the human element -
the mix of glee, malevolence, randomness, megalomania and just
plain mischief that helped spawn these changes - is what Ms. Olson
explores best...We Are Anonymous also captures the broad spectrum
of reasons that Anonymous and LulzSec attracted followers."--Janet
Maslin, New York Times
"A masterpiece of shoe-leather journalism, a fast-paced, richly
detailed account of the group's beginnings, various schisms and
most spectacular attacks"--The Daily
"A remarkable inside account of the hacker movement."--New York
Magazine
"An incredible story."--Jon Stewart, The Daily Show
"Olson keeps We Are Anonymous moving quickly, as she jumps around
in chronology, using dramatic cliffhangers to tie the different
strands of the narrative together while commanding attention... An
eminently human tale."---Rowan Kaiser, AV Club
"Olson traces the origins of Anonymous, unmasking it leading
characters to reveal their personal lives and
motivations."--Booklist
"Spellbinding account of mischief and mayhem....With all the
makings of a fast-paced espionage thriller, Olson...meticulously
and impartially recreates the operations of Anonymous and
LulzSec."--Publishers Weekly
