Pieced together from secondary sources and written with minimal additional research to be the first to market, the book’s thrifty origins are hard to miss. The Guardian is a curiously inward-looking beast.

Julian Assange – The Guardian,
15 Jul 2013
Strong cryptography is a vital tool in fighting state oppression. That is the message in my book, Cypherpunks.

3 Jun 2013
