The cypherpunk revolution
A good read but I'm struck by how politically naive so many of the crypto crowd seems to be. The idea of escaping the government by going into cyberspace is nonsenical on it's head. You are a body. You buy things for your body. You go do body things all the time. Besides buying software, ebooks, and movies everything else you buy with something like bitcoin is physical and cannot be encrypted. 
Even with Lackey living on Sealand on San Fransico time had to be buying canned food, diesel, etc. If any government had been interested in what he was doing it would have been trivially easy to keep tabs on him.<p>ETA:
This quote from May especially struck me “Would Hitler and Himmler have used ‘key recovery’ to determine who the Jews were communicating with so they could all be rounded up and killed?” The Nazi's wouldn't have really cared what Jewish people were saying because they just wanted to kill them. Similarly if we think of something like the Soviet Union while cryptography would have undeniably been helpful for dissidents for coordination and getting ideas out ultimately you still need to have people on the streets or in office to get anything changed.
