+Seleção de trechos [deste livro](http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/101):

+    4154 When rumor about LoD's mastery of Georgia's switching network got
+    4155 around to BellSouth through Bellcore and telco security scuttlebutt,
+    4156 they at first refused to believe it.  If you paid serious attention to
+    4157 every rumor out and about these hacker kids, you would hear all kinds
+    4158 of wacko saucer-nut nonsense:  that the National Security Agency
+    4159 monitored all American phone calls, that the CIA and DEA tracked
+    4160 traffic on bulletin-boards with word-analysis programs, that the Condor
+    4161 could start World War III from a payphone.

+    11658 Kapor is a man with a vision.  It's a very novel vision which he and
+    11659 his allies are working out in considerable detail and with great
+    11660 energy.  Dark, cynical, morbid cyberpunk that I am, I cannot avoid
+    11661 considering some of the darker implications of "decentralized,
+    11662 nonhierarchical, locally empowered" networking.
+    11663 
+    11664 I remark that some pundits have suggested that electronic
+    11665 networking--faxes, phones, small-scale photocopiers--played a strong
+    11666 role in dissolving the power of centralized communism and causing the
+    11667 collapse of the Warsaw Pact.
+    11668 
+    11669 Socialism is totally discredited, says Kapor, fresh back from the
+    11670 Eastern Bloc.  The idea that faxes did it, all by themselves, is rather
+    11671 wishful thinking.
+    11672 
+    11673 Has it occurred to him that electronic networking might corrode
+    11674 America's industrial and political infrastructure to the point where
+    11675 the whole thing becomes untenable, unworkable--and the old order just
+    11676 collapses headlong, like in Eastern Europe?
+    11677 
+    11678 "No," Kapor says flatly.  "I think that's extraordinarily unlikely.  In
+    11679 part, because ten or fifteen years ago, I had similar hopes about
+    11680 personal computers--which utterly failed to materialize." He grins
+    11681 wryly, then his eyes narrow. "I'm VERY opposed to techno-utopias.
+    11682 Every time I see one, I either run away, or try to kill it."
+    11683 
+    11684 It dawns on me then that Mitch Kapor is not trying to make the world
+    11685 safe for democracy.  He certainly is not trying to make it safe for
+    11686 anarchists or utopians--least of all for computer intruders or
+    11687 electronic rip-off artists.  What he really hopes to do is make the
+    11688 world safe for future Mitch Kapors.  This world of decentralized,
+    11689 small-scale nodes, with instant global access for the best and
+    11690 brightest, would be a perfect milieu for the shoestring attic
+    11691 capitalism that made Mitch Kapor what he is today.

+
+    For reasons of security, as well as the fact that the State De-
+    partment's portion of the budget could not by law be spent within
+    the District of Columbia, Yardley set up shop in New York City.
+    After first considering a building at 17 East 36 Street, he finally
+    settled on a stately four-story brownstone at 3 East 38 Street,
+    owned by an old friend.

+
+    The key to the legislation could have been dreamed up by Franz Kafka: the
+    establishment of a supersecret federal court.  Sealed away behind a
+    cipher-locked door in a windowless room on the top floor of the Justice
+    Department building, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court is most
+    certainly the strangest creation in the history of the federal Judiciary. Its
+    establishment was the product of compromises between legislators who wanted the
+    NSA and FBI, the only agencies affected by the FISA, to follow the standard
+    procedure of obtaining a court order re- quired in criminal investigations, and
+    legislators who felt the agencies should have no regulation whatsoever in their
+    foreign intelligence surveillances.
+    
+    [...]
+    
+    Almost unheard of outside the inner sanctum of the intelligence
+    establishment, the court is like no other. It sits in secret session, holds no
+    adversary hearings, and issues almost no public opinions or reports. It is
+    listed in neither the Government Organization Manual nor the United States
+    Court Directory and has even tried to keep its precise location a secret. "On
+    its face," said one legal authority familiar with the court, "it is an affront
+    to the traditional American concept of justice."
+
+    -- page 453
+
+    [...]
+
+    Then there is the last, and possibly most intriguing, part of the definition,
+    which stipulates that NSA has not "acquired" anything until the communication
+    has been processed "into an intelligible form intended for human inspection."
+    NSA is there- fore free to intercept all communications, domestic as well as
+    foreign, without ever coming under the law. Only when it selects the "contents"
+    of a particular communication for further "proc- essing" does the FISA take
+    effect.
+
+    -- page 458
+
+    Like most things in Britain, the practice of eavesdropping is
+    deeply rooted in tradition and probably dates back at least to
+    1653. In that year Lord Thurloe created what was known as
+    "The Secret Office," which specialized in clandestinely opening
+    and copying international correspondence. That custom later
+    carried over to telegrams and finally the telephone shortly after
+    it was first introduced in England in 1879.
