Part memoir, part manifesto, My Glorious Defeats is an indictment of the increasingly powerful and increasingly dangerous cyber-industrial complex that America has become.
What The Reviewers Say
Extraordinary.
The book snapshots a pivotal moment in online activism, and pulls no punches.
[Brown's] style—bumptious, pithy, manic, and full of equal parts self-aggrandizement and self-deprecation—isn’t easy to sustain, or to tolerate, across four hundred pages. What comes off as charming over a few thousand words begins to grate over a long afternoon of reading.
Brown, a prize-winning journalist as well as one-time heroin addict... relates his story well, but the meat of the narrative lies inside the prison yard, a hellscape that he recounts with surprising good humor.
