The crypto-oriented 4Seas coworking in Chiang Mai set up a very nice exhibit to cypherpunks as laid against the history of cryptography. I took pictures as the exhibit is supposed to have been taken down by now: https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113373898014727437041/pl... I have photos of the individual exhibit pieces too if anyone's interested.
But, if anyone here is serious about this, and our hacker histories, please see the Cyberpunk Project Library, which features much more articles on all of this and then some: http://project.cyberpunk.ru/idb/ ("Last updated somewhen on 1998")
There is another site that was built around the same time (92-2003?), that tracked privacy and other cypher/cyberpunk writings on a much larger scale (and other Extropian) writings, particularly by ~sasha (RIP), but I am unable to find it in my links right now.
Perhaps its time to rebuild and expand, and the Cypherpunk Library could be the place.

Stupid take, one can learn from fiction too.
And not everything's about learning. You are allowed to do things strictly because you enjoy doing them, with no ulterior motive.

Did you read it?
Yes, did you? Anything Cypher, punk or cypherpunk inside that you can point out?
Why would you assume they read it when they haven't even answered that first question yet?

Lots of "digital cash" books there. I have to say that Bitcoin and Ethereum have not lived up to their cypherpunk ethos.

Certainly interested - are they shared anywhere?

You have to read better non-fiction then. Take history for example. Certain real events are more fascinating than any fictional story, and the right author can take you on an unforgettable journey, unfolding the world as it developed.
do you have any recommendations?
