Julian Assange has penned a new book about his worries over government control of the Internet and surveillance. Written along with Jacob Appelbaum, Jérémie Zimmermann and Andy Müller-Maguhn, it will be published in November. Assange explains:
“In March 2012 I gathered together three of today’s leading cypherpunks to discuss the resistance. Two of them, besides myself, have been targeted by law enforcement agencies as a result of their work to safeguard privacy and to keep government accountable. Their words, and their stories, need to be heard.”
Did he just say “cypherpunks” without laughing? Yes, I think he did. Anyway, the news begs a bigger question: will you, or anybody else, read it? [New York Times]

God I hate that man’s face.
He does have a very punchable face..

I’ll read excerpts critiqued in the press and then decide if it’s worth reading as a whole.
I don’t think I’ll learn anything I don’t already know though.
Yes, I too would like to learn how to live in stately homes and prime real estate in the centre of London for free!
does it discuss how the us government is restricting his access to non Ecuadorian strange?
I wrote a different perspective on Assange, you can read it on my blog which is found on my GIZ profile. Why would I buy his book so long as he has supporters like Lady Gaga.
No
Yes I will.
I’ll wait for it to show up on Pirate Bay
