Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Expect Us, Beyer looks at political consciousness and action in four communities, each born out of chaotic online social spaces that millions of individuals enter, spend time in, and exit moment by moment: Anonymous (4chan.org), IGN.com, World of Warcraft, and The Pirate Bay. Using a comparative ethnographic framework, she demonstrates that the technological organization of space itself has a strong role in determining the possibility for political mobilization.
