Bruce describes very well what happened, from all sides (he interviewed the hackers, the cops involved, the lawyers and activists that stood up and other people). He admits at a certain point in the book that he has switched from being an observer to being actively involved.

What *is* surprising is the lack of referents to tie these people to their current positions.
