We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Blog of the week- zem:blog The subtitle is: cryptography, censorship, copyright, thoughtcrime and this is definitely truth in advertising. Zem:blog is tightly focused on those issues, eschewing the occasional off-message flights of whimsey found in places like Samizdata.
I do not mean that as a criticism however, it is just that zem:blog is very serious about focusing on what are frankly serious issues to anyone who regards civil liberties as nothing less than the bedrock of civilisation, as zem clearly does… and as do we.
zem:blog tends to focus on technical issues as they relate to civil liberties and he takes a truly global view, reporting in the last few days on matters in the Europe, USA, Britain, Iceland, Swaziland and Egypt. The enigmatically named ‘zem’ is an Australian software developer in the telecommunications industry and thus knows of what he speaks.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.
