Dear Collaborators, Co-conspirators, Hackers and Friends

Apologies for the generic group email, but I wanted to flag up a big essay
I just published on the War on Cash, the dark side of 'cashless society'
and why we might want to keep an eye on the rising power of digital payment
systems http://thelongandshort.org/society/war-on-cash It was published in
NESTA's Long + Short Magazine with some great illustrations from Scott
Garrett, and has been extremely popular. The piece has received so much
traffic that the website has been crashing - it was trending on the front
page of Hacker News for a long time, as well as some big Reddit pages - but
hopefully it's available right now. Please do check it out if you get a
chance, and share with any colleagues or friends who may be interested

Cheers!

Brett
