Dr. Gary Genosko, Professor, Communication, has written a book, When Technocultures Collide: Innovation from Below and the Struggle for Autonomy. Published by Wilfrid Laurier University Press, the book explores the intersection of technology, communication and politics, studying the collision between technologically-inspired subcultures – such as computer hacking, phone phreaking and other modes of political resistance - and the corporate and governmental entities they seek to undermine.
