Stephan Urbach, known as "tomate", was active in the Telecomix activism group in the past decade. He wrote a book about his life as an activist, which was published last year in German. He tried to find a publisher for an English version, but so far potential publishers didn't want to pay the cost of translation. Stephan is now trying to raise the necessary 3600€ from potential readers.

(politik-digital.de) "His (Urbach's) book is not another netphilosophical sorry effort which you read and take some nice ideas from and put in the shelf. His book is unperfected, emotional, lacks from emotional detachment. It deeply moves. Thanks." (Publikumsbeschimpfung) "'.REBOOT" is an extraordinary intensive book, deeply moving and frightening at the same time showing that its worthwhile to commit to others and that there is no shame to admit your flaws." (Hanauer Bote) Good luck Stephan! Mo -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
