    I've peeked into that one. I've expected those people to be radical to some degree, but I didn't expect they write it down so clearly.

    This writing wants to see the collapse of governments and democracy. I find it painful to read such radical statements. So I didn't get very deep.

    But I am riddled how those people think a collapse of that scale will work out in their favor. They are deeply reliant on technology and the first thing to happen on collapse, is that many lights turn off.

      This is the thing I don't understand about (a superficial interpretation of) anarchists; while governments are often not ideal, a lack of one wouldn't be better. And trusting people to self-organize is idealistic, but in practice it'd mean we go back to tribalism and "might makes right".

    Privacy for the citizens and transparency for the government. Sadly, all democracies are right in the middle of establishing the polar opposite.

    nice work, interesting page

    I don't think you need a pretty landing page and the content of https://www.cypherpunkbooks.com/collection

    could directly live under

    https://www.cypherpunkbooks.com/

    it's a website with information and I really want to see the collection and information insteda of just a single headline with an animation

      if it wasnt for needless landing pages where would we ever get a chance to use all the cool animation features browsers have accreted over the last 20 years.

        What is this very mild cyberpunk motif doing in my cyberpunk library website?

        Even worse than a redundant/useless landing page, is a page with an invalid certificate. Nothing nopes me out harder than having to tell my IT-governed browser to ignore the site operators faulty administration of their domain ..

    the hover animation on the books in `/` slows down my Firefox

    Cool project nonetheless! Enjoyed browsing through the options

      If a site like this isn’t using your browser to mine bitcoin I’d be incredibly disappointed.

    Looks really nice, but 10 fps in Firefox.

    Everything on the Internet is public domain, up for grabs

    In the past you could argue about legal stuff but now the LLM training companies have proven that beyond all doubt, it is not only possible but even legal to use any Internet material as you see fit.
