Julian Assange to publish book about freedom and the future of the internet
Confined to the Ecuadorean embassy in London after being granted asylum, the WikiLeaks founder has announced he is to publish a new book about the internet, freedom and what he terms "the resistance". The book, entitled Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet, will be published in paperback and electronically on 26 November, the US publisher OR Books told the New York Times. Three "cutting-edge thinkers and activists from the frontline of the battle for cyberspace" are listed as co-authors: US-based Jacob Applebaum, Jeremie Zimmermann from France and German Andy Muller-Maguhn. The text is largely based on a transcript of an interview Assange conducted with the three others for an episode of his TV show, The World Tomorrow, broadcast in June on the Russian state-funded channel RT, Zimmermann told the Guardian. But he said there would be "plenty of added content". (The Guardian)
