| Synopsis The ridiculously popular website Myspace.com now allows millions of subscribers to reveal themselves in ways that make the rest of us yearn for Internet ignorance. But the covert story of how the rights to the site were sold or, according to Julia Angwin's account, stolen by Rupert Murdoch has remained hidden until now. Angwin, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, provides the most extensive history yet of the culture-changing phenomenon of Myspace, focusing most intently on the billion-dollar sale of the site in 2005 to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. She details how the deal was negotiated and finalized without the consent of the creators of Myspace, Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson, who have been fighting a legal battle to retain the rights to their cybernetic offspring. Far from being sympathetic Davids to Murdoch's Goliath, DeWolfe and Anderson have a reprehensible history as hackers, spammers, and porn dealers, who basically fell backwards into an endless supply of cash when they started Myspace.
Publisher's Note Chronicles the story of how MySpace, a powerhouse Internet company that rose from humble, barely funded, technologically inept beginnings to become nothing less than one of the centerpieces of Rupert Murdoch's media empire, spawning a dizzying and epic battle for control.
