Hacktivist

Hacktivist is a comic I enjoyed. At the same time, I have numerous criticisms to offer of this book. It’s a good story, and an entertaining premise, and the view it presents of the hacker lifestyle is edifying. That being said, it’s risky for any comic to try and offer insights into geopolitical realities. Those realities are complicated, and this book simplifies things in pursuit of a good story.
Hacktivist is about continuing social unrest in Tunisia and two American hackers, Nate Graft and Ed Hiccox, who also happen to be social media entrepreneurs. They break down a government firewall in Tunisia shortly before revealing to the world their social media platform, YourLife. Unlike Facebook, YourLife is completely decentralized, meaning that governments could not use YourLife to access user information. Hiccox is a man who studies patterns.

You've probably seen ads for Ibm's SmarterCity initiative, a program that uses the company's information technology to help municipal governments create healthier, more intelligent urban environments for their residents. Using their ability to collect and analyze data, Ibm is able to provide information about elements of daily city life ranging from weather and traffic to water usage and air quality. But what they've done with that data has largely been used to make policy and economic decisions. Ibm appealed to our What Would You Ask Nature? biomimicry challenge, asking how they could use nature to understand how these overlays of information could help guide residents toward...
