Geek Researcher Spends Three Years Living With Hackers | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com

I’m sure Gabriella Coleman’s upcoming book Coding Freedom: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Hacking will be a fascinating read!  I completed an Information Security weekend workshop during my MLIS program and we discussed hacking and how easy it is for hackers to compromise systems. We also discussed pros and cons of hacktivism. I would have to take a full-credit course in Information Security but it was not offered at the time. I could see Coleman’s research integrating well within the curriculum.
