Summary: On May 23, Triple Canopy hosted <a href="http://canopycanopycanopy.com/programs/60" target="_blank">We Are All Anonymous</a>, a conversation about the culture and politics of anonymity online with anthropologist Gabriella Coleman, writer David Auerbach, and lawyer James Grimmelmann. Participants discussed the hacktivist group Anonymous, the rich (and sordid) world of online message and image boards from which it emerged, and the political and legal implications of its activities. We Are All Anonymous also marked the publication of Triple Canopy‘s first e-book, <a href="http://canopycanopycanopy.com/support#nobody" target="_blank"><em>Here Comes Nobody: Essays on Anonymous, 4chan and the Other Internet Culture</em></a>, which compiles Auerbach and Coleman’s <a href="http://canopycanopycanopy.com/15" target="_blank">recent articles</a> from the magazine and is available for the Kindle.
