Introduction -- The Morris Worm and the Rise of Hacker Culture -- From Hobbyists to Threats -- The Melissa Virus and the Shift in Perception -- NSA, NASA, and the Hacker Nexus -- Weaponizing the Subculture -- Hackers as Geopolitical Assets -- Case Studies in Domestication -- Ethics, Surveillance, and the Hacker Identity -- Conclusion: The Future of Hacktivism and State Power.
Emily Crose explores the evolution of hacker culture and its complex entanglement with state power. From the early days of the Morris worm to the modern era of cyberwarfare, the book traces how governments—particularly the United States—have alternately vilified, co-opted, and weaponized hackers. Through historical analysis and case studies, Crose reveals how a once-marginal subculture became a strategic asset in global geopolitics.
