It's funny to look back on the cypherpunks list as kind of a fun cyber punk LARP and then a mere quarter century later, we really are living in a world where people live double lives as fugitives from privacy invading corporations, mass intelligence apparatus surveillance, political gangs infiltrating institutions, and navigate a domestic civil information war abetted by shadowy international forces, where even the tools we use to maintain some semblance of a private autonomy are suspected traps and honeypots, and there is an arms race on to defend civilization against drones and robots. It's like we won't believe we live at the edge of a dystopia it until there are flying cars.
