Here Michael Casey tells  the remarkable story of this image, detailing its evolution from a casual snapshot  to an omnipresent graphic—plastered on everything from T-shirts to vodka to condoms—and  into a copyrighted brand. As Casey follows it across the Americas and through cyberspace,  he finds governments exploiting it and their dissenters attacking it, merchants selling  it and tourists buying it.  We see how this image is, ultimately, a mercurial icon  that still ignites passion—and a reflection of how we view ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael Casey is writer and researcher in the fields of economics, finance, and digital technology and culture.
