This Machine Kills Secrets is a 2012 book by Andy Greenberg [1] about "how WikiLeakers, cypherpunks, and hacktivists aim to free the world's information." [2] The book looks at "a revolutionary protest movement bent not on stealing information, but on building a tool that inexorably coaxes it out, a technology that slips inside of institutions and levels their defenses like a Trojan horse of cryptographic software and silicon." [2] The interview with Julian Assange which served as a launching point for the book was published by Forbes , [3] and was read nearly a million times. [2]

The book looks at the history of "politically motivated information leaks ... the lives and work of numerous cryptographers, hackers and whistleblowers", [2] including WikiLeaks and the people involved. [4] It talks about WikiLeaks being modeled on Nicolas Bourbaki, and how it could be infiltrated by informers, harassed or spied on. [4]
