Who is Julian Assange?: "He has never spent a day in a newsroom, attended a journalism school or penned a newspaper column, but has changed the way news is gathered and disseminated around the world, says S Kalyana Ramanathan
It is hard to define Julian Assange, the 39-year-old computer geek-turned-whistle blower, who is now at the centre of a worldwide controversy for leaking US diplomatic cables on the WikiLeaks website. Perhaps he comes closest to two fictional characters, both created by the American novelist Ayn Rand — John Galt, the anarchist with good intentions in Atlas Shrugged (1957), as also devil-may-care Howard Roark in The Fountainhead."
