<P>This title describes how digital media are transforming Arab culture, literature, and politics.  In recent years, Arab activists have confronted authoritarian regimes both on the street and online, leaking videos and exposing atrocities, and demanding political rights. The book situates these critiques of power within a pervasive culture of scandal and leaks and shows how cultural production and political change in the contemporary Arab world are enabled by digital technology yet emerge from traditional cultural models. Focusing on recent activists and authors from Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula, it connects WikiLeaks to <em>The Arabian Nights</em>, Twitter to mystical revelation, cyberattacks to pre-Islamic tribal raids, and more. It maps the changing landscape of Arab modernity in the digital age and traces how concepts such as the nation, community, power, the intellectual, the author, and the novel are hacked and recoded through new modes of confrontation, circulation, and dissent.</P>
