3.0
A semi-random collection of articles then an actual book. Gabriella Coleman's "Our Weirdness Is Free" on anonymous is good (and very readable) whereas David Auerbach's "Anonymity as Culture" is more of an academics analysis of 4chan discussions... Interesting in a certain academic light, but pretty boring and without much conclusion or perspective (and in my view a bit too adopting of the culture's self-apologetic description of the sexism, racism, homophobia and every other -ism, that excludes everyone but the straight white & male...) Also it's just a bit boring to read categorizations of trolling statements for 50 pages!
