THE EXPLOIT — A Theory of Networks
coauthored with Eugene Thacker
University of Minnesota Press, 2007
Amazon.com book page
publisher's book page
"The Exploit is that rare thing: a book with a clear grasp of how
networks operate that also understands the political implications of
this emerging form of power. It cuts through the nonsense about how
'free' and 'democratic' networks supposedly are, and it offers a rich
analysis of how network protocols create a new kind of control.
Essential reading for all theorists, artists, activists, techheads, and
hackers of the Net."
—McKenzie Wark, author of A Hacker Manifesto

"An engaging methodological hybrid of the Frankfurt School and UNIX
for Dummies... Galloway brings the uncool question of morality back
into critical thinking" (more)
—The Village
Voice
"Expressing some startling new lines of thought with refreshingly straightforward clarity, Galloway reminds all of us why thinking about networks and their protocols is so relevant to our time. From FTP to fluxus or Deleuze to DNS, these are the connections that need to be made between the models competing to be our reality."
—Douglas Rushkoff, author of Media Virus, Coercion, and Nothing Sacred
