Abstract
- A literary criticism of the book "Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous" by Gabriella Coleman is presented. It discusses how the author embellishes the role of Anonymous, which is a network of activists and hacktivists, as digital protectors of justice and makes an exception to its failures such as racism, sexism, and sadism. It also discusses the group's buzzword, lulz, a leftover from digital bulletin board 4chan which harasses people just for the laughs.
