Publisher's Summary

Every day, it seems, we hear stories about hackers. Hackers breaking into the computers of banks, governments, and corporations. Some are criminals, coding to exploit and destroy. Others are activists, using their tools to challenge institutions and fight for freedom. But often these characters linger in the shadows. Who are they? What makes them tick? Are they our allies, or our enemies?

For the past 20 years, author David Kushner has been exploring these questions, interviewing key players, and providing much-needed answers. The World's Most Dangerous Geek is a riveting collection of his exclusive reports from the online underworld. We meet a fugitive hacktivist from the notorious collective, Anonymous; a lonely Floridian who hacked the emails of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood; and two artificial intelligence researchers who were both found dead in the same mysterious way.

You will come away from these stories with an appreciation for the awesome power of the Internet both to make fortunes and erase them, to build lives and destroy them.

Profile Image for Corey C

mostly interesting but odd selection of stories

I really enjoyed this book for the most part when they were actually talking about packing and geek related things. my issue is that some of the stories we're not focusing really on anything to hacking. one of the stories has absolutely nothing to do with computers or hacking or anything really technologically related. it was a story about a white guy who became a leader of the Asian Mafia in Boston. I don't think they mentioned the word computer in it at all.
I did really like the writing style as always and I really enjoyed the narrator.
