Rebellious Cypherpunks: A Walking Tour

​Amsterdam has been a privacy town for four hundred years.

​In the 1600s it was where you printed the book that would get you arrested at home; publishers here ran fake imprints and anonymous editions so that Spinoza, Descartes, and Locke could reach readers across a censored continent. In the 1940s it was forged identity papers and clandestine presses. In the 1980s it was squats, and phone phreaks, which grew into one of the first public ISPs in the world. The tools changed; the argument did not.

​Join us for a 1.5 hour walk through the city's history. No booths, no pitch competitions, no lectures or unconference AI knowledge graphs. Just a small group walking and talking, with some cool SWAG.

​We finish at Oche and keep going. Honestly, the bar is half the point: the walk is a 90minute icebreaker with better scenery, and by the time we sit down you already know who you want to keep talking to.

Don't want to walk? Just join at at the ending location Afterparty.

Accessibility: The tour company has worked with Able Amsterdam to select a route that will allow for those with wheelchairs and mobility devices to join. The tour will be given in spoken English, if you require a sign language interpreter please message the host.
