Daryl's Reviews > When Google Met Wikileaks

Despite the extensive gloss (often more than half the page!), I still struggled to understand the engineering and computing in this book, so I can't really comment on the technical aspects. However, getting an inside to the philosophy and goals behind Wikileaks was really fascinating. Assange comes across as a very intelligent, inspiring, and altruistic figure, which is very different to all the pictures I've seen painted of him (traitor, rapist, etc). Very interesting insight to two organisations which are shaping our culture... not sure I can give up my Android phone, although this book made me think that perhaps I ought to.
