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