Wikileaks was at least 20 years in the making. Described as a “radical form of muck-raking”, it was a unique convergence of technology, a new brand of politics and university maths puzzles.

Wikileaks, or as Assange called it, “an intelligence agency of the people” continues to influence journalism, politics and democracy around the world.
