The former Silicon Valley entrepreneur made a fortune selling a data-mining company to Amazon.com in the 90’s, and now he is the man behind a $3M and growing undertaking to create a comprehensive physical archive of the printed word.

We are Anonymous.”—Anonymous, 2011 “Six months after being labeled ‘the Internet hate machine,’ Anonymous had legions of followers in the real world—not just geeks and hackers hammering at their keyboards—who were seizing on the group’s name, on its ethic of anonymity and concomitant iconography. That evening, men in Guy Fawkes masks and black suits with signs announcing ‘We Are the Internet’ could be seen on cable-news shows around the world.”—Gabriella Coleman, from “Our Weirdness is Free“ published in Issue 15 of Triple Canopy. Coleman tackles the logic of Anonymous—online army, agent of chaos, seeker of justice—and explains the ways of the mask.
