For those interested in the earlier career of Julian Assange under his hacker identity of Mendax, over twenty years ago, I refer you to chapters 8 and 9 of Suelette Drefyus’ 1997 book Underground, available here in a variety of formats provided by my old mate Justin Mason. An interesting read.

News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier
I said just that to a colleague today. Why people want to have “how terrible” fests, I never got. I used to call the news “wrist-slitting time” as a teenager and gave it up around then.
And yes, I’m happier.
