Panspectrocism

In the following movie a very early version of our beloved leader Cameron describes the Panspectron, the Bazaar and the Cathedral, free information flows versus secrecy, freedom versus taking and giving orders and perhaps most important: How decentralized communication protocols built by hackers and engineers can help breaking down the flawed hierarchies. It is, in a sense, the fundamental ideas behind crypto anarchy.

The book Abstract Hacktivism is about the very same topic. Even though it is a bit old, perhaps one or two years, it is probably still interesting to read. You can download it from this site.

The Telecomix Crypto Munitions Bueau will have a two-day seminar about cryptography/politics the 16-17th of june. More information will be published at the Interfax soon.
