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unpublished interviews with Julian Assange, and reflections on the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.
