The internet is a vital arena of communication, self expression, and interpersonal organizing. When there is a message to convey, words to get out, or people to unify, many will turn to the internet as a theater for that activity. As familiar and widely accepted activist tools-petitions, fundraisers, mass letter-writing, call-in campaigns and others-find equivalent practices in the online space, is there also room for the tactics of disruption and civil disobedience that are equally familiar from the realm of street marches, occupations, and sit-ins? With a historically grounded analysis, and a focus on early deployments of activist DDOS as well as modern instances to trace its development over time, \u003ci\u003eThe Coming Swarm\u003c\/i\u003e uses activist DDOS actions as the foundation of a larger analysis of the practice of disruptive civil disobedience on the internet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Molly Sauter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1623564565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623564568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2015","brand":"Molly Sauter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939321250047,"sku":"9781623564568","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_040a77ea-3642-4e22-9bef-ae7b11d7a6ba.jpg?v=1681440808","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-coming-swarm-molly-sauter-9781623564568","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
