The Krypto Economy elaborates on the underlying dynamics of our digital era to better create a responsible technological future. Living in a world of exponential technological advancement, we have new construction kits to create and probe possible realities. Marshall McLuan once said that first we build the tools and then the tools build us. We are designed by what we have designed. To design a utopian rather than dystopian future, we took a closer look at the status and potentials of our technological tools. Over a series of seven panel discussions — using some of the most analytical and imaginative minds — we experienced that today's digital instruments are our ultimate Kryptonite. Its benefits have the capacity to aid us exponentially. And yet, its destructive powers — mass surveillance, elimination of privacy, or virtual concentration of power — could push us down a terrifying path. With this book you can join the discourse and find the answers to the most fundamental questions to better navigate towards a responsible technological future.

Julian Assange

'Whistleblower, Internetaktivisten, Coder, Cyberpunks, Geeks. Es sind die Nerds, die derzeit die Kultur der Welt bewegen. Sie haben uns die Augen geöffnet, uns aufgeklärt im besten und wörtlichsten Sinne eines westlichen Wertesystems.' Angela Richter Für ihr neues Projekt "Die Avantgarde der Supernerds" hat die Theaterregisseurin Angela Richter ausführliche Interviews mit den Whistleblowern und Netzaktivisten Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Daniel Ellsberg (Pentagon Papers), Jesselyn Radack, William Binney und Thomas Drake geführt. Diese Gespräche sind Auseinandersetzungen nicht nur mit der Gefährdung der Demokratie durch die Geheimdienste, dem wachsenden Überwachungsapparat und den zunehmenden Verletzungen der Pressefreiheit in den USA, sondern auch sehr persönliche Gespräche über das eigene Schicksal, den Kampf gegen eine Staatsmacht, die Pflicht zum Verrat. Parallel zu Angela Richters Theaterprojekt erscheinen die Gespräche erstmals in deutscher Sprache. "Die Avantgarde der Supernerds" hat am 28. Mai 2015 am Schauspiel Köln Premiere und wird gleichzeitig im WDR im Rahmen einer Sondersendung live übertragen. Dazu entsteht ein Dokumentarfilm, der anschließend ausgestrahlt wird.

The most controversial activist organization of the 21st century, WikiLeaks has attracted strong, divergent opinions from across the political spectrum. Lauded by its supporters for its indispensable role in holding governments, corporations, and human rights abusers to account, its advocates and journalists have been excoriated by opponents as traitors, threats to legitimate governments, and misogynists. Yet so much media attention is focused upon founder Julian Assange, and his ongoing confinement in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, that the broader dimensions of WikiLeaks are rarely aired. Especially critical in these omissions is the role of women, both in the organization and the more general struggle for information freedom. Women, Whistleblowing, WikiLeaks presents a conversation between three extraordinary advocates who have been at the forefront of such activity: acclaimed journalist and human rights advocate Sarah Harrison, Croatian-German theater director, activist and author Angela Richter, and Renata Avila, a celebrated Guatemalan human rights lawyer and digital rights expert. Ranging widely, from the dishonesty of the mainstream media and its contrasting treatment of Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning to the terrifying monopolization of personal data under tech behemoths such as Facebook and Google, this book is a crucial intervention in the ongoing debate around digital activism.

A Conversation

Women, Whistleblowing, WikiLeaks

'It's a type of reorganization or infection of humanity's thought system, the way humanity talks to itself, the way a society thinks. It's like everyone simultaneously is taking LSD.' Julian Assange 'No one is more hopelessly enslaved than those who think they're free.' Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Ever since Edward Snowden's NSA disclosures, the might of the secret services and the helplessness of everyday citizens are there all around us for everyone to see. But who is taking up the fight against global surveillance and the erosion of democracy? Theater director Angela Richter has conducted in-depth interviews with a number of well-known whistleblowers and internet activists - the 'Supernerds'. Conversations with Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Daniel Ellsberg, Jesselyn Radack, William Binney, Jeremy Hammond and Thomas Drake, an Essay by Barrett Brown and drawings by Daniel Richter.
