BOOK DESCRIPTION
The more we elevate and seek out privacy, the more it seems to diminish. Such is the paradox we have inherited.
It is no coincidence that the word privacy was popularized in the 1890s as the West began its flirtation with centralization and top-down planning. The progressive pursuit of heaven on earth—of Utopia—arose from a desire to help the individual. But the individual would have to expose himself, to give up everything, in order to receive it.
Following the career of utopian philosopher H. G. Wells, this intellectual history traces the story of the first people who realized they could change the world. From the rise of the welfare state and the birth of eugenics, to the development of pharmaceuticals and refinement of psychological manipulation, the story of the early twentieth century is best told alongside the genre it alone could produce: dystopia.
BOOK REVIEWS
“Privacy and Utopia is an unexpected and fruitful examination of how privacy has been treated in literature, and how that literature has affected our world. It exposes the reasons why privacy is so aggressively opposed by those who wish to rule us. I highly recommend this book: It will surprise you!” – Paul Rosenberg, original cypherpunk
“Privacy and Utopia: A History offers a comprehensive exploration of privacy, tracing its evolution and its complex relationship with decentralization. It provides valuable insights into the ongoing struggle to balance individual autonomy with collective well-being in an increasingly interconnected world.” – Joe Doran, Trends Journal
“I had the pleasure of conversing with the author – this book continues a curiosity and engaged study of the nexus of state power, philosophy and the role of technology and I highly recommend it.” – Roger Huang, author of Would Mao Hold Bitcoin? The Past, Present and Future of Bitcoin in Techno-Nationalist China

The Incas are the undisputed champions of hiding. Their empire survived the unparalleled colonial might of the Spanish conquistadors for forty years. A mixture of strategic relocation, inventive guerrilla tactics, and their own form of encryption allowed them to survive twenty times as long as the Aztecs. One part of their strategy was the use of quipus, artistic string designs that contained hidden knowledge that to this day has not been deciphered. The mythical golden city of El Dorado, had it existed, could never have been found as long as the Incas guarded its location.

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with historian Tom DiLorenzo about his efforts to expose Abraham Lincoln. Pushing against the soft “saint-like” treatment that historians have granted Lincoln, DiLorenzo exposes Lincoln’s totalitarian tendencies, his contribution to the birth of American fiat currency, his war crimes, among other reasons to have disdain for the lauded president. Ultimately DiLorenzo explains how court historians can twist our understanding of history, use this twisting to advance the ends of the status quo, and themselves alter the course of history.

Gabriel speaks with Evgeny, the founder of Simplex Chat. Simplex is a recent and still-developing private messaging app with a slant toward privacy over convenience. Evgeny gives his critical thoughts on other private messengers, explains how privacy software can fund itself, exposes the myth of disappearing messages, and gets into some of the finer details of how Simplex Chat has made different choices from its competitors. In particular Simplex gets rid of accounts altogether, allowing you to create as many “profiles” as you want that are localized to your device. The result is, as Evgeny says, Simplex knows nothing about its users.

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Urban Hacker about the infamous XZ backdoor incident by which a key piece of software in the Linux kernel was nearly hijacked. The attacker spent four years slowly ingratiating himself into the small community, which had been selected precisely because it consisted of a single burned-out developer. Follow us as we unravel this bizarre and disturbing story of premeditated digital attack and what it means for free and open-source software and our own cybersecurity.

Gabriel Custodiet speaks for a second time with the anarchist philosopher Doug Casey. And once again they discuss topics Doug Casey rarely comments on: how anarchy holds up to foreign empires, what Doug would refuse to sell on darknet marketplaces, whether the will to power isn’t a better ethic to follow, the morality of investing in “defense” stocks, and jury nullification.

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Zelko of RoninDojo and Samourai Wallet. They unpack the crazy politics in the Bitcoin community: from the fuzzy “red lines” of Bitcoin companies, to the gradual diminishment of Bitcoin’s cypherpunk origins, to FOSS gaslighting and the recent Ocean Mining censorship. Oh, and Bitcoin is not for Progressives.

Gabriel Custodiet speaks for a third time with the cultural philosopher Jayant Bhandari. They continue previous threads about what reason and honor are and how they manifested exclusively in the West. They talk about Indian Independence in 1947, the threat of BRICS to the West, how Hinduism is a modern Western construct, whether the Hippocratic Oath exists in India, why Indians stockpile gold, and what book most influenced Bhandari.

They cover the recent COVID government overreach before continuing the discussion on hidden history: from FDR’s knowledge of Pearl Harbor, to the depravities of LBJ, to the Clinton “body count.” Jeffries as usual has a powerful counter-narrative to the court history that many of us accept as true.

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with contrarian cultural thinker Jayant Bhandari. Bhandari views politics as subsidiary to culture, and thus culture as the first principle from which to begin one’s analysis. He explains the rarely-acknowledged unchanging depravities of the Third World which are leading it toward collapse: all stemming from a lack of reason and thus moral consciousness. Bhandari also gives his thoughts on a variety of other matters, such as the 2016 Indian banknote demonetisation, the prevalence of Indian scammers, and how to cultivate fearlessness as a speaker.

Gabriel Custodiet talks to Aaron Zar, founder of SLNT signal-blocking pouches. They discuss the origin and definition of Faraday bags, their uses for privacy seekers, and some of the ins-and-outs of the industry. A (good) Faraday bag is a covering that blocks most signals—GPS, cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, RFID, EMP, EMF—and thus allows its user to have situational privacy.
