The book explores the intersection of digital technology and cultural production in the Arab world, highlighting how activists utilize online platforms to challenge authoritarian regimes. Tarek El-Ariss connects contemporary activism to traditional cultural narratives, drawing parallels between modern leaks and historical storytelling. He introduces the concept of "the leaking subject," examining how digital consciousness reshapes political discourse and community identity. By situating these developments within the broader context of Arab modernity, the work reveals the evolving nature of dissent and knowledge in the digital age.
