Guys, here’s MY attempt at a Barrett-style summary for the first chapter.  Fill in the blanks for me, and work on a transition at the end, OK?  Rip it to shreds if you want, I don’t care—just tryin’ to help.

 

I’ll look at the rest and get back to you tonight.

 

 

 

Chapter One: There’s a Revolution Afoot

Our story begins the weekend of February 4, 2012, when Gregg awakens to find himself at the center of a three-ring circus of Anonymous-related activity.  Turns out that a couple of Anon's hackers had managed to sit in on a conference call between the FBI and Scotland Yard in which they discuss their ongoing investigation of Anonymous. That recording has been leaked this morning.  Meanwhile, Puckett & Faraj, the military law firm who defended [NAME HIM] the Marine who admitted involvement in the Haditha massacre, has been hacked by associates of Gregg’s, their website defaced, and these emails, too, are about to be leaked to the public.  And the Syrian gov’t has been hacked as well, with another Anon team revealing internal communications by Assad's people in which they discuss their public relations strategy vis a vis western news outlets (this comes a few days after the massacre of hundreds of anti-Assad protesters).  The press is going crazy; Gregg’s in box is full of desperate entreaties from journalists from around the world—yep, there’s one from CNN’s The Situation Room.   Gregg’s head is spinning, and yet this—his juggling six plates with one hand while swallowing a sword and dealing a deck of cards with another, all while being shot out of a cannon—has become standard fare for the world’s #1 ‘source’ for information about all things Anonymous.  There’s a revolution going on, and—yes—it’s being televised, thanks in large part to Gregg.
