Another thing I wrote for LoTNV:
RuleScape: Dynamic peaceful order in societies
We are currently witnessing fundamental changes in human society. Common shared values are lost, general ideologies disappear, technical progress accelerates.

Something I wrote some years ago, mostly as an accident. But still relevant for today, even more then ever.
Global Spying:
Realistic Probabilities In Modern Signals Intelligence
In this article, we will present insight to the realistic possibilities of Internet mass surveillance. When talking about the threat of Internet surveillance, the common argument is that there is so much traffic that any one conversation or email won’t be picked up unless there is reason to suspect those concerned; it is impossible that “they” can listen to us all.
