One half Net sex, one half Net crime, Charles Platt's Anarchy Online presents level-headed, well-informed synopses of these two myth-laden subjects in today's popular media. The section on Net crime examines some of the most famous computer crime cases, including the capture of Kevin Mitnick, the wrongful arrest of Steve Jackson, and the Michelangelo virus. The Net sex section begins with a thorough retelling of the story of Martin Rimm, the Carnegie-Mellon University student whose report on Net pornography was taken as gospel by Time magazine and the United States Congress. This should be required reading for anyone who saw the magazine covers or still thinks that the Communications Decency Act is a good thing. The story of Rimm's exposure as a fraud with questionable motives can still put a smile on any netizen's face. This section also includes frank discussions of Usenet, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), BBSs, plus the miles of litigation and legislation that the righteous have leveled at each one of these forums.

Synopsis
An examination of sex and violence on the Internet and the battle between censorship and free speech chronicles the origins of Usenet through the expensive war on netporn while profiling key players.

Synopsis
The U.S. Justice Department, the Christian Coalition, and the Guardian Angels want to clean up the Net. ACLU attorneys, college activists, and a raging band of rebels are trying to stop them. Who will win this epic battle, and at what price? Charles Platt, a contributing editor of WIRED magazine addresses both sides of the issue.
