The Anarchist in the Library is 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 of Star Wars to terrorist organizations'
reliance on "leaderless resistance," from Napster to Total Information Awareness to flash mobs.
