Epic Win for Anonymous
A “sharp, witty, and well-researched” history of 4chan and its cultural impact (The Rumpus). Created by a fifteen-year-old wunderkind in 2003, it is the creative force behind “the Web's most infectious memes and catchphrases” (Wired). Today it has millions of monthly users, and enormous social influence. Epic Win for Anonymous is the first book to tell 4chan’s story. Longtime blogger and 4chan expert Cole Stryker writes with a voice that is engrossingly informative and approachable. Whether examining the 4chan-provoked Jessi Slaughter saga and how cyber-bullying is part of our new reality, or explaining how Sarah Palin’s email account was leaked, Epic Win for Anonymous proves 4chan’s transformative cultural impact, and how it has influenced—and will continue to influence—society at large.
Hacking the Future
Is anonymity a crucial safeguard—or a threat to society? “One of the most well-informed examinations of the Internet available today” (Kirkus Reviews). “The author explores the rich history of anonymity in politics, literature and culture, while also debunking the notion that only troublemakers fear revealing their identities to the world. In relatively few pages, the author is able to get at the heart of identity itself . . . Stryker also introduces the uninitiated into the ‘Deep Web,’ alternative currencies and even the nascent stages of a kind of parallel Web that exists beyond the power of governments to switch it off. Beyond even that is the fundamental question of whether or not absolute anonymity is even possible.” —Kirkus Reviews “Stryker explains how significant web anonymity is to those key companies who mine user data personal information of, for example, the millions of members on social networks. . . . An impassioned, rational defense of web anonymity and digital free expression.” —Publishers Weekly

A Unified Theory of Cats on the Internet
This cultural history reveals how cats became the undisputed mascot of the internet—“an essential look at life online” (Ryan Milner, author of The World Made Meme).

Internet cats can differ in dramatic ways, from the goth cats of Twitter to the glamourpusses of Instagram to the giddy, nonsensical silliness of Nyan Cat.

Extracting The Future from The Present
Mapping accurately the future is no longer a storytelling fantasy; rather, a workplace of data scientists, programmers or analysts. With a background in engineering and as an estimator, Ion Storland presents a book that explores in the present, a future scenario of human civilization on Earth and beyond, based on information and observations from the past. The interdisciplinary content gathered and described in the book seeks to build a panoramic view of how the various domains and sectors of economy, technology, and society are interrelated and interact with peoples’ day-to-day lives; and also to picture the consequences of actions that frame the events of the future. An inevitable future...
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
Internet trolls live to upset as many people as possible, using all the technical and psychological tools at their disposal. They gleefully whip the media into a frenzy over a fake teen drug crisis; they post offensive messages on Facebook memorial pages, traumatizing grief-stricken friends and family; they use unabashedly racist language and images. They take pleasure in ruining a complete stranger's day and find amusement in their victim's anguish. In short, trolling is the obstacle to a kinder, gentler Internet. To quote a famous Internet meme, trolling is why we can't have nice things online. Or at least that's what we have been led to believe. In this provocative book, Whitney Phillips ...
