This book is not a treatise on WikiLeaks, nor is it meant to be
an exhaustive discussion of the future of secrecy or privacy,
or a comprehensive exploration of all the ways the Internet is
changing politics, governance, and society. It has been, however,
called into existence by WikiLeaks and the urgent debates that
have been ignited by the actions of its founder Julian Assange
and his supporters around the world. But readers should
be forewarned—I am not aiming to untangle every knott y
question raised by WikiLeaks, nor do I think it would be wise
to try, given how quickly that story continues to develop and
change. But with the current volley of books appearing about
Assange, WikiLeaks, and the ins-and-outs of his relations with
various major news organizations, there’s a danger of missing
the bigger story of what WikiLeaks really represents.
