Cult of the Dead Cow (Public Affairs)
Wednesday, 24 December 2025

This book is the tale of the oldest active hacking group in the USA. Joseph Menn explores the Cult of the Dead Cow from its origins back in the 80s, and looks at its oddball characters—activists, artists, and musicians—some of whom went on to advise presidents, cabinet members, and CEOs, and who now walk the corridors of power in Washington and Silicon Valley. Featuring a new afterword with updates on the collective, Cult of the Dead Cow describes how, at a time when governments, corporations, and criminals hold immense power, a small band of tech iconoclasts is on our side fighting back.
