This document discusses lessons learned from reviewing Gregory Evans' book "How to be the World's #1 Hacker". It summarizes that the review found significant plagiarism in the book, which led to unexpected events. Some key lessons discussed include: - Twitter is a powerful tool for spreading information and organizing in situations like this. It was used by critics to discuss the issues with Evans' book. - Self-publishing allows bypassing traditional fact-checking and plagiarism reviews, so plagiarism is more common. Evans' book likely would have been flagged if sent to a traditional publisher. - Fair use can be interpreted differently, but Evans' book crossed the line into plagiarism
