"Este libro no es un manifiesto. No hay tiempo para eso. Este libro es una advertencia". Con estas palabras Julian Assange comienza este texto en el que alerta sobre el control y la dominación que ejercen los Estados utilizando la herramienta de internet, que se ha transformado en «una amenaza para la civilización humana». Frente a esta nueva hegemonía, el líder de WiliLeaks hace un llamado a usar las armas criptográficas que ayuden a dar «privacidad a los pobres y transparencia a los poderosos». Un libro imprescindible para entender el presente y el futuro del mundo.
"La batalla por la libertad de internet es la más importante de la primera mitad del siglo XXI. Al parecer, Latinoamérica será el centro y no la periferia de esa batalla". Antonio Martínez Velázquez, Gatopardo
The WikiLeaks Files
Published in collaboration with WikiLeaks: What Cablegate tells us about US foreign policy WikiLeaks came to prominence in 2010 with the release of 251,287 top-secret State Department cables, which revealed to the world what the US government really thinks about national leaders, friendly dictators, and supposed allies. It brought to the surface the dark truths of crimes committed in our name: human rights violations, covert operations, and cover-ups. The WikiLeaks Files presents expert analysis on the most important cables and outlines their historical importance. In a series of chapters dedicated to the various regions of the world, the book explores the machinations of the United States as it imposes its agenda on other nations: a new form of imperialism founded on varied tactics from torture to military action, to trade deals and “soft power,” in the perpetual pursuit of expanding influence. It illustrates the close relationship between government and big business in promoting US trade. An introduction by Julian Assange—writing on the subject for the first time—exposes the ongoing debates about freedom of information, international surveillance, and justice. With contributions by Dan Beeton, Phyllis Bennis, Michael Busch, Peter Certo, Conn Hallinan, Sarah Harrison, Richard Heydarian, Dahr Jamail, Jake Johnston, Alexander Main, Robert Naiman, Francis Njubi Nesbitt, Linda Pearson, Gareth Porter, Tim Shorrock, Russ Wellen, and Stephen Zunes
