Former director of the Open Rights Group Becky Hogge has just published
a book (yesterday!) which addresses many of the issues talked about in
this month's thread. 

Barefoot into Cyberspace:
Adventures in search of techno-Utopia
http://barefootintocyberspace.com/book/

I've only just downloaded and started reading it, but it looks like a
great contribution to the field, and includes some early and otherwise
unpublished interviews with Julian Assange, and reflections on the
culture that spawned WikiLeaks from a UK context.

Cheers,

Saul.
