This Part 1 of an interview with Paul Rosenberg, author of
"A
Lodging of Wayfaring Men".
Instantly named Freedom Book of The Month and a major influence
in the Cyber-underground, A Lodging of Wayfaring Men is the story
of freedom-seekers who create an alternative society on the
Internet - a virtual society, with no possibility of oversight or
control. It grows so fast that governments and "leaders" are
terrified, and fight to co-opt this cyber-society before it
undermines the power of the governing elite.
In this interview Paul talks about his intellectual development,
his influences and the background to writing the book. He discusses
the parallels between the novel and recent developments in
crypto-currency, such as Bitcoin. He shares his thoughts on the
current state of the internet, prospects for liberty and the
potential for developing communities of people with shared
values.
