<p>Dear Collaborators, Co-conspirators, Hackers and Friends<br>
</p>
<p>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
<a href="http://thelongandshort.org/society/war-on-cash" target="_blank">http://thelongandshort.org/<wbr>society/war-on-cash</a> 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<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers!</p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
