This is a belated post, but an important one for updates.<\/p>\n

I have recently drafted a review of Charles E. Cobb Jr’s book This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed<\/em><\/a>. This will be completed published at Dissident Voice<\/em> soon.<\/p>\n

I have received a review copy of\u00a0When Google Met Wikileaks<\/em>, by Julian Assange<\/a>, from the publisher – OR Books. This is fortunate, because it is not yet available in print from Amazon and I only tend to buy books in print. I am especially keen to review this for h+ Magazine<\/em>, the top source for news and opinion on the transhumanist movement – a movement of technology enthusiasts whose position\u00a0on issues at the heart of freedom and technology ought to\u00a0be as well-informed as possible. Although of course I’ll come in on the side of Assange and WikiLeaks due to my anti-statist tendencies – that’s just the sort of political being I am at this point – the book essentially covers the clash of philosophies and views between WikiLeaks and Google.<\/p>\n

With WikiLeaks representing the technological empowerment of individual citizens and Google representing the alignment of technology with immense corporate and statist power, I\u00a0believe\u00a0this book could foretell a great battle of ideologies that is going to shape the remainder of the Twenty-First Century.<\/p>\n
