Excerpt
With this ambitious book, Shantz and Tomblin offer an engaging overview on the different practices of disobedience and resistance that define the internet as a space for antagonistic politics. While the volume comprises seven chapters that follow a well-articulated introduction section, in fact, three broad themes can be identified for the sake of this review: anarchism and hacker/hacktivist subjectivities (introduction, chapters 1 & 2); whistle-blowers and online anti-capitalism (chapters 3, 4 & 5); online commons and the prospect of cyber-syndicalism (chapters 6 & 7).
