Thanks for sharing, this looks great.

Birchall, Bratich and a few others were essential for my empirical work
on Anonymous (fascinating for they hyper visibility and invisibility). I
received a lot of hell/push back too about the use of secrecy and
obfuscation in Anonymous and ended up writing something about it
directly in an epilogue to the paperback:

This piece by Jack Bratich was especially helpful:

Not sure if anyone has posted this book as I have not read all
recommendations but it is quite good:

And as usual the Annual Review of Anthropology can be gold for citation
and laying out problematics. Here is fantastic one on secrecy:
