There is a rising tide of online leaking - Wikileaks is just the tip of the iceberg - and it is exposing the secrets of the powers that be, enraging them, enlightening the rest of us, and changing the world from North Africa to Wall Street. This is the first full account of an exploding digital revolution.
Who Are The Cypherpunks?
This is the unauthorized telling of the revolutionary cryptography story behind the motion picture The Fifth Estate in theatres this October, and We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks, a documentary out now.
WikiLeaks brought to light a new form of whistleblowing, using powerful cryptographic code to hide leakers identities while they spill the private data of government agencies and corporations. But that technology has been evolving for decades in the hands of hackers and radical activists, from the libertarian enclaves of Northern California to Berlin to the Balkans. And the secret-killing machine continues to evolve beyond WikiLeaks, as a movement of hacktivists aims to obliterate the world s institutional secrecy.
Forbes journalist Andy Greenberg has traced its shadowy history from the cryptography revolution of the 1970s to Wikileaks founding hacker Julian Assange, Anonymous, and beyond.
This is the story of the code and the characters idealists, anarchists, extremists who are transforming the next generation s notion of what activism can be.
With unrivaled access to such major players as Julian Assange, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, and WikiLeaks shadowy engineer known as the Architect, never before interviewed, Greenberg unveils the world of politically-motivated hackers who they are and how they operate.
