I think the popularity of crypto is also due to an early introduction to the concept in Cryptonomicon is a 1999 novel by popular sci-fi/speculative fiction author Neal Stephenson.

yup...
It's not exclusive to English speaking people though, I can confirm it's the same image among Japanese speaking people, and perhaps most other languages too.
Almost everything they say is the opposite, some things at some degree between 5° and 179°, and occasionally they speak the truth just to add some confusion.
Anarchists are just people who want to be free and just want to live like a human rather than a slave.
Crypto and Linux are definitely among the many tools to make a free society possible, and I do believe we already have everything to replace the Matrix with the free/libre counterparts, most people are being kept away from it exactly through definitions like these (among many other things, starting with education, pharma industry, political systems, economy, occupations, cities etc).
Some day humanity will understand that all the answers to all the mysteries/questions/etc are right within themselves and right in front of themselves, just like how animals and plants do.
Never heard of Cryptonomicon, I'll definitely take a look at it.
I mean, 1984 was supposed to be just a fiction, and look how most of the world is like nowadays.
