At last, the first full account of the cypherpunks who aim to free the world’s institutional secrets, by Forbes journalist Andy Greenberg who has traced their shadowy history from the cryptography revolution of the 1970s to Wikileaks founding hacker Julian Assange, Anonymous, and beyond. WikiLeaks brought to light a new form of whistleblowing, using powerful cryptographic code to hide leakers’ identities while they spill the private data of government agencies and corporations. But that technology has been evolving for decades in the hands of hackers and radical activists, from the libertarian enclaves of Northern California to Berlin to the Balkans. And the secret-killing machine continues to evolve beyond WikiLeaks, as a movement of hacktivists aims to obliterate the world’s institutional secrecy. This is the story of the code and the characters—idealists, anarchists, extremists—who are transforming the next generation’s notion of what activism can be. With unrivaled access to such major players as Julian Assange, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, and WikiLeaks’ shadowy engineer known as the Architect, never before interviewed, reporter Andy Greenberg unveils the world of politically-motivated hackers—who they are and how they operate.

While composing what would become his most enduring and popular book, E. B. White obeyed that oft-repeated maxim: "Write what you know." Helpless pigs, silly geese, clever spiders, greedy rats-White knew all of these characters in the barns and stables where he spent his favorite hours as a child and adult. Painfully shy, "this boy," White once wrote of himself, "felt for animals a kinship he never felt for people." It's all the more impressive, therefore, how many people have felt a kinship with E. B. White. Michael Sims chronicles White's animal-rich childhood, his writing about urban nature for the New Yorker, his scientific research into how spiders spin webs and lay eggs, his friendship with his legendary editor, Ursula Nordstrom, the composition and publication of his masterpiece, and his ongoing quest to recapture an enchanted childhood.

I, Andrei is a story of generational conflict. Andrei Luchowski is the son of Polish immigrants, refugees from the devastation of Hitler's Europe. Andrei's father wants his son to enjoy the prosperous life that he, Henryk Luchowski, has created for his family in this wonderful America. However, when his best friend dies in Vietnam, Andrei joins the US Army, intending to make amends to his dead friend, an Army draftee. Henryk lashes out at Andrei, creating an estrangement that continues for many years. Andrei completes a difficult deployment to Panama, where he participates in chemical weapons research. Filled with bitterness, he does not return home to mend fences. Instead, he buys a motorcycle and rides it across the country to California, in search of something that he is unable to define. There, he encounters a woman—a prostitute who struggles daily to provide food and shelter for her small daughter. He follows her to Santa Fe, New Mexico, seeking answers to the many questions that he has about his life.
