About this product
Product Information
The true story of four computer nerds who tried to build a revolutionary online network based on privacy & control; a David v Goliath startup effort that ended not in a billion dollar buy-out but in personal tragedy. Their proposition sounded so simple that it took a few minutes to grasp its audacity. The four NYU undergrads-classic computer nerds-wanted to build a social network that would allow users to control the information they shared about themselves, instead of surrendering their privacy (and personal data) to big businesses like Facebook. They were hoping to raise $10,000 in 30 days, enough to keep them in ramen and pizza for the summer in a basement in San Francisco while they coded. Their project was called Diaspora. Apparently, the world had been waiting. Their 2010 Kickstarter campaign ended the first day with three backers. Before long they had raised $200,000. In a matter of days, the Diaspora Four had received a global commission to re-bottle the genie of personal privacy. The ambitions of the Diaspora Four were underwritten by that heroic mix of optimism and naivete you only seem to have when you're twenty, egged on by the elite of the digital community. But as the months wore on and the money wore out, they couldn't get there-coding failures, bad business decisions, over-reach and under-organization, and the inevitable conflicts of personality and goals. When Ilya committed suicide in the fall of 2011, they found out how much they had all been on their own all along.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
