I want to read all the books that inspired the cypherpunk movement.
What are your recommendations to start with?

I still haven’t gotten any of them… I finished True Names 2 days ago

Went to search which books are usually mentioned as inspiration for the cypherpunk movement, to see which ones i’ve read.
Fiction-wise the classics i love are “Atlas Shrugged” and “1984”
Non fiction “The Sovereign individual” was a great read.
Of those i haven’t read but have long been in my reading list:
“Neuromancer” and “Snow Crash” are fictions i will probably read this year.
I was intrigued by some of the non-fiction listed but some may be too technical for me, and others i gotta learn more about.
Have some great reads!
A disfrutar 💜📚

The sprawl trilogy for sure
Also I learned a very interesting concept this week that seems to me very relevant to Bitcoin: Hauntology
Can you explain to me the concept?
Hauntology: ''The social condición in which people is unable to imagine new futures'' (I would have used a Latinn root though...)
Cyberpuck in this context is related to ''capitalist realism'' or the idea that there is no alternative to capitalism.
Cyberpunk is a dystopian future with mega corporations ruling on a ecologically decadent world. But thinking about Bitcoinismo (Adrian Bernabeu) and similar ideas from bitcoiners makes me think about a different future.
I call it Yage Bitcoinism, I'm writing about it in my book but the piece is not ready yet.
Thanks for explaining. Yes it’s interesting how similar the worlds ciberpunk and cypherpunk are and how different is their meaning.
Estoy leyendo bitcoinismo ahora jaja que bueno lo de tu libro! Muchos éxitos!
Para crear el futuro que queremos primero hay que imaginarlo 😉
Que bieeen. Yo me lo pedí hoy... ocupo ayuda para imaginar ese futuro.
De la trilogía que te recommendé el primero Neuromancer es un referente del género. Y hay una historia corta Jonny Mnemonic que también me recuerda el concepto de las llaves mnemónicas. Otra joya
Interesante! Los voy a agregar a la lista
