*The Coming Swarm: DDoS Actions, Hacktivism, and Civil Disobedience* by Molly Sauter is a critical examination of the role of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks in contemporary protest movements and hacktivism. The book explores how these digital actions are used as a form of civil disobedience, drawing parallels between traditional forms of protest and modern, internet-based tactics. Sauter analyzes several high-profile DDoS campaigns, discussing their impact on both the target organizations and the broader social and political context. Through this analysis, the book provides insights into the evolving nature of activism in the digital age and the ways in which technology is reshaping the practice of civil disobedience.
