Wikileaks founder Julian Assange book on ‘seizure of internet’

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, still in his asylum sanctuary at the Ecuadorean embassy in west London, is publishing a book about “the resistance” movement against internet surveillance.

Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet is based on his interviews with three co-authors — US-based Jacob Appelbaum, Jérémie Zimmermann from France and German Andy Müller-Maguhn.

Assange said: “The nightmares we had in the early days are coming to pass as governments seize control of the internet.”
