Synopsis: A “sharp, witty, and well-researched” history of 4chan and its cultural impact (The Rumpus).Created by a fifteen-year-old wunderkind in 2003, it is the creative force behind “the Web's most infectious memes and catchphrases” (Wired). Today it has millions of monthly users, and enormous social influence. Epic Win for Anonymous is the first book to tell 4chan’s story. Longtime blogger and 4chan expert Cole Stryker writes with a voice that is engrossingly informative and approachable. Whether examining the 4chan-provoked Jessi Slaughter saga and how cyber-bullying is part of our new reality, or explaining how Sarah Palin’s email account was leaked, Epic Win for Anonymous proves 4chan’s transformative cultural impact, and how it has influenced—and will continue to influence—society at large.
