Cypherpunk by Julian Asange and members of wikileaks

An excellent discussion of an excellent little book

ImageI just published a review of a recent book on digital surveillance and cryptography.  Cypherpunks is co-written by four activists, including Julian Assange.  A very exciting, provocative book, which I recommend.

In a nice coincidence, or a sign of timeliness, Reporters sans frontières released a new study on governments cracking down on the free internet, and the Western companies who supply them the requisite technology.  Those are topics of great concern to Assange et al.

He was indeed a REALLY interesting guy and I’ve already started reading his 1st book The Sacred Bones.

Check out his Amazon.com author page:

It’s a really interesting book proposal on economic methodolody with a strong practical AND philosophically sophisticated approuch to evaluating mathematical modeling (which sucks on many levels). I’m definitely recommending they publish it with a few suggestions of my own, including that he check out MY book lol.

On the air with Michael Byrnes!
