Cult of the Dead Cow

By Joseph Menn

The untold story of America's oldest, most respected, and most influential hacking group, Cult of the Dead Cow, reveals its origins in the earliest days of the internet. This collective of activists, artists, and musicians saw its members rise to advise presidents, CEOs, and shape tech policy in Washington and Silicon Valley. Today, the cDc continues to battle electoral misinformation, secure personal data, and advocate for technology as a force for good against surveillance and oppression. This is the compelling narrative of how a small band of tech iconoclasts fights to protect digital freedom against immense governmental and corporate power. "A hugely important piece of the puzzle for anyone who wants to understand the forces shaping the internet age." —*The New York Times Book Review*
