“The anonymity issue is a big question. As long as people can disguise cyber attacks and as long as there is a sort of question mark over who is responsible, then the problem will continue to exist. And of course what happens in response to that is that there is a move to try and refashion the Internet so that anonymity is impossible, which of course leads to fears among all sorts of groups - civil rights groups, NGOs, and political parties - that the Internet is going to be used simply as a method of control. So these are very sensitive issues.” PeopleTryingLongProblemMovingPoliticalPartyImpossibleInternetResponsibleResponseCivil RightsSensitiveDisguisePolitical PartiesAnonymityQuestion Mark Author:Misha Glenny
“When you're researching things that have happened, the clear narrative arc is not there already. This is the problem of writing nonfiction for me - writing nonfiction which is about serious subjects and has serious political and social points to make, yet which is meant to be popular to a degree - what happens when the facts don't fit a convenient narrative arc? I guess that for a lot of nonfiction writers that is a central challenge.” WritingProblemPoliticalChallengesSeriousFitMeant To Be Author:Misha Glenny
