But everyday life is all-consuming wherever you are, and at school I can barely remember to call my parents, let alone my former host family in Honduras...
...schooling myself on the possibilities of deep-package inspection, VPNs and onion-routing. It was not long before I began to wonder at the online company that I was keeping. What was this world that I had entered? Who exactly, other than pedophiles, committed civil libertarians and the occasional serial killer, bothers with deep encryption...?
