Cypherpunks

[koan]

Just heard about this movement because of an Assange show. They seem mostly dedicated to finding a way to keep all personal correspondences private, seemingly in response to government violations of privacy. At the same time, they are intent on busting open the secrecy of the government.

I think a case could be made that citizens have a right to private communication whereas the government is a body created by and employed by the citizens to whom they should be accountable. I'm interested in what specific visions cypherpunks have for the future.

They got the word added to the dictionary. So that's a first step.
