Revolutionary Language by David Calderwood is a libertarian novel chronicling the tribulations of a programmer who is imprisoned and had his assets stolen for unknowingly working for a company that was involved in illegal drugs. When paroled, he is forbidden to work with computers for life, and he can only find work as a custodian at a college. He meets a libertarian professor, through whom he gets a better understanding of the way governments really work. He writes some encryption software to allow people to hide transactions from the government, thereby avoiding taxes, so that the system will collapse sooner, but people will have some assets they were able to hide to aid in the rebuilding of society post collapse. The bureaucrat who had him imprisoned earlier becomes aware of his project, and... I'll leave the rest for you to read.
It is a well written and fast paced story, with good info on libertarian thought and information security woven skillfully into the story. It left me wondering what sort of an encryption system which is envisioned as enabling a competing banking system to be set up, could work. I suppose it would be like numbered Swiss bank accounts, but would take place in cyberspace. The Swiss caved to US pressure last year and failed to protect the privacy of clients as well as they had in the past. A cyberspace bank has to be somewhere, and it isn't very clear where the banker would go, or how they would evade the power of the American Empire. On the whole, to me the best way to protect assets is probably well hidden precious metals without a paper trail. Still it's an interesting story, and pgp and remailers are worth knowing about.

Rebels & Redcoats: The American Revolution Through the Eyes of Those Who Fought and Lived It
George F. Scheer and Hugh F. Rankin
ISBN: 0-306-80307-0
Want to learn what happened during the American Revolution but hate text books? R&R brilliantly weaves together journals and documents from soldiers, patriots, and our founding fathers with a compelling narative which together paints a telling picture of what it truly means to earn independence.
This book reads like a well-written novel and will have you struggling to put it down. If you haven't found your inner patriot yet, this book will help you find it.
I give it 6 stars out of 5.
"If this were a dictatorship it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."

I actually greatly enjoyed the TC Sherry books, Deep Winter and Shatter. I have read JW Rawles book Patriots I enjoyed the story. I was however unable to relate to the characters the way I was with the TC Sherry books. If We are talking post -apocalyptic fiction for mostly entertainment reading. I suggest Summer of the Apocalypse, James Van Pelt; Another Place to Die , Sam North and The World Ends at Hickory Hollow, Ardath Mayhar. Alas Babylon, Pat Frank, Earth Abides, JR Stewart.
There are many others worth the time to read.
"Unintended Consequences" by John Ross.
