About book Cypherpunks: Freedom And The Future Of The Internet (2012)
Partamos de que no es un libro, sino una transcripción de conversaciones sobre cibervigilancia y privacidad en la red. En consecuencia que nadie espere una joya de la literatura ni un buen orden en el contenido. Para quienes decían que eran unos conspiranoicos, Snowden ha probado lo contrario, un año antes de que las pruebas saliesen a la luz, estas personas tenían razón. Es bastante contenido sobre el que pensar. Okay its not exactly a Book, which is why I gave it 4 stars, more like extended interviews with Julian Assange talking with contemporaries about how e-communications and surveillance, by government, Google, Facebook etc. Big Brother is already here according to them; for example, all financial transactions credit card, checks, & cash, are tracked. Well I thought that far fetched with cash then realized I had a "Where is George" tracker app tracing the travels of a $1 bill I registered. Whether one follows Assange or hates him, unfortunately everything he said in the book is coming out in open to be true. What is kinda remarkable is this book in print form was out last year. The gist of everything Edward Snowden revealed is already talked about in Cypherpunks. It is frightening if one if one considers that the same government claiming to be collecting all that data for benevolent reasons can turn malevolent in the face of resistance. If anyone thinks that could not happen here, look up the recent IRS hearings.
