I like the references to Ellison and Orwell, and was wondering if/when you'd get around to name-checking the Tristero (or W.A.S.T.E., or the posthorn symbol) from Pynchon's classic "The Crying of Lot 49". Because, at some level, all conspiracy narratives are more or less the same story, aren't they?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049100705786633064.post-46634196053261717892014-02-04T12:19:37.326-08:002014-02-04T12:19:37.326-08:00Ah, perfect!

Been wondering when you'd pull the trigger on that, so to speak.<br /><br />When I first came across this story some months back, it reminded me pretty strongly of some of Eric's writing (from 20 years ago). But not quite - perhaps a bit more of an emphasis on tech and hardware than I'd expect from him. The duh-bomb hit about 400 milliseconds later, of course. No fun getting old! (But it sure beats the alternative).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049100705786633064.post-46319679636129929982014-02-01T21:35:41.835-08:002014-02-01T21:35:41.835-08:00Those constitutional lawyers sound an awful lot li...Those constitutional lawyers sound an awful lot like sovereign citizens.<br /><br />Anyway, there's an extra space in "valuable additional intel".Sanctaphraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17117418785914238427noreply@blogger.com
