“The Exploit is that rare thing: a book with a clear grasp of how networks <br />
operate that also understands the political implications of this emerging form <br />
of power. It cuts through the nonsense about how 'free' and 'democratic' <br />
networks supposedly are, and it offers a rich analysis of how network protocols <br />
create a new kind of control. Essential reading for all theorists, artists, <br />
activists, techheads, and hackers of the Net.” —McKenzie Wark, author of A <br />
Hacker Manifesto<br />
<br />
The network has become the core organizational structure for postmodern <br />
politics, culture, and life, replacing the modern era’s hierarchical systems. <br />
From peer-to-peer file sharing and massive multiplayer online games to contagion <br />
vectors of digital or biological viruses and global affiliations of terrorist <br />
organizations, the network form has become so invasive that nearly every aspect <br />
of contemporary society can be located within it. Borrowing their title from the <br />
hacker term for a program that takes advantage of a flaw in a network system, <br />
Alexander R. Galloway and Eugene Thacker challenge the widespread assumption <br />
that networks are inherently egalitarian. Instead, they contend that there exist <br />
new modes of control entirely native to networks, modes that are at once highly <br />
centralized and dispersed, corporate and subversive. In this provocative book-<br />
length essay, Galloway and Thacker argue that a whole new topology must be <br />
invented to resist and reshape the network form, one that is as asymmetrical in <br />
relationship to networks as the network is in relation to hierarchy.<br />
