Tor: The Second-Generation Onion Router (2004)

I keep copies of these papers in a safe in case I never need to re-develop the Internet from scratch. No seriously, the Tor papers are amazing and even hint at the means by which Tor might be manipulated to, say, track down someone like Ross Ulbricht, founder of the Silk Road, who is currently serving a double life sentence, plus forty years, without the possibility of parole.

It mentions mixmaster and mixminion, but those projects seem to have died. I feel like they are needed more than ever.

Indeed. I've often thought that such high-latency mix-nets (with their potentially superior resistance to traffic analysis) would be a nice complement to low-latency networks like Tor.

Apparently not safe for work

A company could have a lot of problems if one of their employees decided to host a node in their network, so quite literally yeah

No, it wasn't for that. He was never charged with that and it is likely that those messages were sent by FBI agents trying to frame him.

Or are you just trying to manipulate public opinion?
