The two books from his earlier self, Cypherpunks and When Google Met Wikileaks, are well worth the read for anyone who comments here on HN, I think.

I agree, he changed dramatically sometime around or during the Trump campaign; I hardly recognize him any longer.

When he disappeared from view for a few weeks before the election and the wikileaks twitter drastically changed tone was what did it for me. There was something really weird going on there - as an example, the twitter refused to sign anything with their public key to prove it was still controlled by the same group.

I suspect that at some point he met the nasty end of a rubber hose.
