Cypherpunk rising: WikiLeaks, encryption, and the coming
surveillance dystopia
The Verge
March 7, 2013
In 1989, when the internet was predominantly ASCII-based
and HyperCard had yet to give birth (or at least act as a
midwife) to the world wide web, R.U. Sirius launched
Mondo 2000. “I’d say it was arguably the representative
underground magazine of its pre-web day,” William Gibson
said in a recent interview. “Posterity, looking at this,
should also consider Mondo 2000 as a focus of something
that was happening.”
Twenty years ago, it was cypherpunk that was happening.
And it’s happening again today.
