In June 2011, Julian Assange received an unusual visitor the chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, arrived from America at Ellingham Hall, the country residence in Norfolk, England where Assange was living under house arrest.
For several hours the besieged leader of the world’s most famous insurgent publishing organization and the billionaire head of the world’s largest information empire locked horns. The two men debated the political problems faced by society, and the technological solutions engendered by the global network—from the Arab Spring to Bitcoin. They outlined radically opposing perspectives for Assange, the liberating power of the Internet is based on its freedom and statelessness. For Schmidt, emancipation is at one with US foreign policy objectives and is driven by connecting non-Western countries to American companies and markets. These differences embodied a tug-of-war over the Internet’s future that has only gathered force subsequently.
When Google Met WikiLeaks presents the story of Assange and Schmidt’s encounter. Both fascinating and alarming, it contains an edited transcript of their conversation and extensive, new material, written by Assange specifically for this book, providing the best available summary of his vision for the future of the Internet.

When Google Met WikiLeaks eBook Julian Assange Reviews
Good reading. With this book you really can understand the thinking of the CEO of one of the most influential companies in the digital world and how is helping to the government of the United States of America. Is a good reference on how the freedom in Internet is ending.
Extremely well-written and interesting read, written by one of the most interesting and heroic human beings on the planet, imho. Completely changed my perception of the Google I thought I knew.
A great read and demonstrates first hand how duplicitous Schmidt and Google are. From the manner in which Google engaged at the beginning through to the complete lack of follow up and misrepresenting what was said, the military industrial complex, the US Government and intelligent agencies are tightly in bed to "corrupt" the US populous
Indispensable insight on this important topic of contemporary times.
Reveals to you the beauty of the tenacity of incredible awesome figures & fascinating minds.
Considering the importance of this story & its "face to face" encounter interview, the clarity is extraordinary.
Not overwhelming.
Much to appreciate about the sensitivity & good nature of Julian Assange for sharing his interview with everyone. You will appreciate the excellence in his commitment to making complex issues comprehensible & simple to understanding. His good manner & passion for his work & his creativity provides readers not only with visionary insight but his work is cultivating & humanizing.
I have never bothered to review a product before this one inspired me. This is probably THE MOST IMPORTANT book I have ever read, and I have read thousands of books. This transcript of the conversation between Eric Schimdt and Julian A. is an essential part of our intellectual record for the history of humanity. Agree with Eric, or agree with Julian, your choice. It's the verabtim transcript.
Not my usual type of reading, but it turned out to be a page turner. And I've thought about it a lot since. Assange is an interesting and super intelligent guy. The book is not long. The first half (approx) is background, which is essential. Then there is the transcript of the conversation with the Google guys, which is very clean and clear and the best part of the book. Highly recommended, esp if you don't know anything about Wikileaks, Assange, or cryptography. Written for the layman, not the techie.
This book is an obvious (and literal), yet necessary rebuttal to the propaganda perpetuated by Google in its book The New Digital Age Reshaping the Future of People. For the diligent, the best way to hear the brilliance of the hero Julian Assange, who while certainly ripe with his own ego and paranoia (of course the question remains whether it is paranoia when so many are out to get him), literally has put his life and all monetary support on the line, is to listen to the transcript of the interview between him and the Google CEO Eric Schmidt on the Wikileaks site which is three hours (so compelling as to be impossible to stop listening) of such technological, metaphysical, bureaucratic systems, political and financial genius that even Michel Foucault would be impressed. As this transcript is free (like all of Assange's work and heroism), it is diametrically opposed to the clear greed of Google -- regardless of the validity of either argument.
For those, like myself, who, at the very least believe in checks and balances of all side of difficult worldwide philosophical arguments, risking your life and poverty always gets my vote over joining the greed of the Power Establishment (assuming Eric Schmidt was even wise enough to realize, it IS a choice). One item that neither addresses is that, while the symbiotic nature of the US Government and US business is nothing new, the internet and the cloud add elements that are hyper-Orwellian in nature.
For example, for all the ignorant that are putting information into the cloud and assuming that the Constitution protects it, just consider for a moment how much more secret, anonymous and untraceable (even assuming perfectly well-intentioned humans and a perfect legal system) the cloud is regarding where your "property" under the 4th Amendment is being stored. All of the benefits of the cloud are also its most negative aspects. Unless you have a private cloud (assuming they exist and are not merely marketing hype), to get the benefit of elasticity, keep in mind that a cloud provider does not typically know where on Earth (much less within the US) your information, i.e. "property", is located. This means that what law applies is also up for grabs, as is what happens if there is a leak or a US or Foreign governmental request of obtain it, and whether or not you will even ever be provided with notice of the issue (for more on this read "A Global Reality Governmental Access to Data in the Cloud" by Winston Maxwell, Paris, France and Christopher Wolf, Washington, DC -- 23 May 2012).
So while this "book" is largely a recount of the interview transcript, it is a way to not have the Banking Industry block your donations to Wikileaks and to place yourself (I perhaps naively assume since the list must be mighty long by now) on a lower-level threat list by the government for doing so. Of course, now we have playing the role of Google in the drama, since I presume they are taking a percentage -- no surprise as Capitalism rolls on.
Anytime I can read well documented sources that show how disreputable the mainstream media is and shows how the MSM is just a propaganda tool for our authoritarian government I feel relieved but sad to read the truth. This would also include all of our branches of government. Scary and downright shameful the steps they take to cover up crimes by our government.
