The first book on the meteoric rise of the 4chan, the anonymous web community that dominates today's news.
4chan is the 'Anti-Facebook': a site that radically encourages anonymity. It spawned the group Anonymous, which famously defended WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange by hacking and taking down MasterCard's and Visa's websites. Longtime blogger and 4chan member Cole Stryker writes with a voice that is engrossingly informative and approachable. Whether examining the 4chan-provoked Jessi Slaughter saga and how cyberbullying is part of our new reality, or explaining how Sarah Palin's email account was leaked, Epic Win proves 4chan's transformative cultural impact, and how it has influenced - and will continue to influence - society at large.
