Cyberculture, hackers and the digital revolution

Information wants to be free (Information want‘ s to be free) is a hacker password that comes from a time when the word hacker didn't have such a negative connotation and only a few lonely geeks had a clue about the secret corners of cyberspace.

With this book, you will follow the dramatic evolution of cyberculture since the birth of cyberpunk, through the creation of a global network, originally designed for the free dissemination of information and virtual collaboration, to the post-factual era, using the internet for marketing purposes, propaganda and spreading disinformation.

You will learn about the fundamental movements and modern heroes fighting for digital freedom, who are trying to preserve the Internet as a decentralized zone at a time when its development is moving in the opposite direction, subject to power control, censorship and market monopolization. Utopia thus becomes dystopia.
