Dead Drops

A winter courtyard of concrete apartment blocks at dusk. A gloved hand holds a phone low over the snow at the roots of a bare tree.illustration
A dead drop. Nobody hands the goods over: the courier hides them in a courtyard, and the buyer gets coordinates and a photo of the spot.

Silk Road was the shop of an American libertarian who believed in freedom and liked to write long posts about it. Two years after it was shut down, Hydra opened on the Russian-language internet, and nobody there wrote about freedom.
