‘There are few original ideas in politics. In the creation of Wiki Leaks, Julian Assange was responsible for one.’
This essay reveals the making of Julian Assange – both his ideas and his world-changing actions. Robert Manne explores Assange’s unruly childhood and then his involvement with the revolutionary cypherpunk underground, all the way through to the creation of Wiki Leaks. Pulling together the threads of his development, Manne shows how Assange became one of the most influential Australians of our time.
