WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been holed up at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London since June, will release a book about Internet freedom from the strange comfort of his extended-stay residence. Cypherpunks is due out November 26 via publisher OR Books and features three co-writers — Jacob Appelbaum, Jérémie Zimmermann, and Andy Müller-Maguhn — all of whom must know the type of guy they're dealing with and are okay with getting overshadowed.
