Synopsis

A plot like from an agent triller: an opaque hacker king publishes hundreds of thousands of secret documents, triggering international entanglements. What would have been an unrealistic scenario a year ago suddenly runs off in real time before our eyes, the affair around WikiLeaks and Julian Assange keeps the world in breath. As confusing and confusing as the avalanche from documents are the backgrounds and consequences of WikiLeaks: what are the motives of Julian Assanges? Is it about democratic transparency? Or about the "crypto-anarchist" world revolution? Who should evaluate all the files and dispatches? And: What are the consequences of the affair for politics? Are we witnessing the end of secret diplomacy or the beginning of a much more secret diplomacy? The authors try to beat snails into discursive mess from different angles in detailed background analyses and commentaries, still while history may be made here. With contributions by: Dirk Baecker, Mercedes Bunz, Wolfgang Ischinger, John Kornblum, Jaron Lanier, Geert Lovink and Patrice Riemens, Christoph Möllers, Volker Perthes, Rahul Sagar, Felix Stalder and others.
