They are watching you. The web is spun, the data are filtered; limited access. Two woman hackers, hacktivists and their avatars. They are members of a underground militia. Everything must be encrypted: ideas, images, sounds. Impossible to encrypt every single bit. 0110010101110101, must be musically encrypted. But that’s not enough. We must use multiple encryption. We must materialize them by spherification, to be able to spread the message, to carry it, to share it. Everyone must digest it: zero freedom is not an alternative.
