Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and Chelsea Manning are key figures in the central conflicts of our internet age regarding freedom and surveillance, intelligence agencies, war, and terrorism. For the young French philosopher Geoffroy de Lagasnerie, they represent even more than that: they are "exemplary figures" of a new art of revolt, a new form of political action and subjectivity. His insightful essay strikes at the heart of the present. The principle of anonymity, as practiced by WikiLeaks and the hacker group Anonymous, along with the gestures of escape and exile by Snowden and Assange, break with traditional forms of civil disobedience. They challenge us to rethink democratic public life and the political space: What does it mean today to speak politically, to be a citizen, to be part of a collective?.
