Summary
The Anarchist in the Libraryis the first guide to one of the most important cultural and economic battlegrounds of our increasingly plugged-in world. Siva Vaidhyanathan draws the struggle for information that will determine much of the culture and politics of the twenty-first century: anarchy or oligarchy, total freedom vs. complete control. His acclaimed book explores topics from unauthorized fan edits ofStar Warsto terrorist organizations' reliance on "leaderless resistance," from Napster to Total Information Awareness to flash mobs.
