"Coders seeking to do good in the world will find much inspiration here."-- Kirkus Reviews
"[Maureen Webb is] building a powerful case for the fact that technology as we know it--omnipresent, flawed, world-improving--has become so entrenched and static that it really does need the hackers worrying the edges of its firewalls. In Webb's telling, hackers aren't heroes destined to bring the world to a grand new order of their own transgressive imaginings. They're agents of positive chaos." --Wired
