Abstract :
One way to use cryptography for privacy is to tweak various systems to be privacy-preserving. But the more radical cypherpunk movement sought to wield crypto as a weapon of freedom, autonomy, and privacy that would fundamentally and inexorably reshape social, economic, and political power structures. This installment of On the Horizon primarily examines the latter use.
