# Steal This Wiki

WELCOME!

Thanks for visiting Steal This Wiki, a collaborative update and rewrite of Abbie Hoffman's seminal work, Steal This Book. And a special welcome to readers of Little Brother, Cory Doctorow's book, which we are excited to see reference our project.

The Table of Contents

The project is divided into four major categories.

- Survive is a primer on basic level survival in tough times. Here, you will find information on everything from how to eat on the cheap, getting through high school, living on the street, knowing about drugs, and much more!

- Fight is an advanced skills section for use after you have gotten your survival needs taken care of. Topics range from use of firearms, leadership skills, good use of the internet, getting the hell out of dodge, and even petty theft if you are desperate or crazy!

- Liberate is a section on individual cities written from a free spirit's viewpoint. If you are stuck in a small town going nowhere and want to leave for adventure, Free Cities may have some good information for you!

- Lastly, Steal This Library is a collection of related books and essays e.g. books analysing this projects yippie anarchist roots.

Read it!

You can browse the always-improving wiki online or download it in book format to your computer and print and bind a hard copy. Our already very useful beta release of Steal This Book Today includes both a Complete Edition (1191 pages) and a condensed Survival Edition (670 pages). If you're feeling nostalgic, you can also read the original.

Featured Great Articles

- Parkour The urban sport that not only keeps you in good shape but turns you into a acrobatic, cop and bad guy evading ninja.

- Camping When the homeless shelters are being oppressive assholes and there is no money to pay some asshole landlord, grab a cheap tent and live in the wooded patches!

- Free Land Updated a while back with even more information about free land.

Write it!

We look forward to seeing what you can contribute to the project. Just take a quick look at our guidelines and then jump in editing and expanding.

Throughout the wiki, you may find some typos or sentences that are out of place. Some of our contributors may be using shoddy smart phones or ancient laptops with no spell check. Or they may have more enthusiasm than writing skill. If you see something like this, correct away!

Help us!

You can help by getting the word out. You can tell others about the site, email out copies of the book, make it available for download in new places, give print copies to friends or others, leave them in libraries, or quote material in new work.

2 Year Anniversary Announcement

As this project comes to its second anniversary, we have to acknowledge collaborators and views on this project haven’t been as forthcoming as we hoped.

This situation might change in the future, as archivists who have helped out on this project also helped secure funding towards developing a classic forum board called Radical Libraries. When the forum is up and running it could provide the boost this archive needs by being signposted on a single website discussion space for a few different radical libraries. However, finding dedicated web developers to work on this has also been slow going.

If anyone would like to help make this happen, please consider joining the group working on this here: <af2c.org>

Or, donate here: <fundrazr.com/anarchf2c>

Or, simply help introduce more people to this archive by sharing texts from this library or sharing posts from our social media: <linktr.ee/stealthiswiki>

If you like the optics of this website being able to be found at its own dedicated web domain (stealthiswiki.com) and you are optimistic the plucky site will be able to go on to big things by people only needing to remember how to type in the short URL, then perhaps with your donation you could leave a note saying this donation is a contribution towards domain costs.

If not enough interest is forthcoming this may be the last year we can be found at <stealthiswiki.com>. After a few months of being redirected to <stealthiswiki.radicallibraries.com> the latter sub-domain would then go on to be the only place people can find this archive.
