Having received my copy of the latest Whole Earth Review yesterday, I expected to see a pile of messages about the article by Kevin Kelly on "Cypherpunks, E-Money, & Technologies of Disconnection"...but maybe, like me, you've all been too busy to read the article all the way through. Anyway, I thought those of you who don't subscribe would appreciate a mention of the article so you could run right out & buy the mag. There's also some good sci-fi stuff (they give it some kind of fancy name, you know WER...) by Kelly & Brian Eno. & the cover is by R. Crumb! Well, anyway, it seems Mr. Kelly has spent some time talking to list member (guru?) Tim May, Phil Zimmerman, & a bunch of other cypherpunk folk, so how about some reactions to the article from those he talked to? ...& is it me, or is the WER/WELL/cypherpunks/Wired/EFF/etc. crowd starting to get just a *little* inbred? (In a nice way, of course...) I feel as though Kelly, Sterling, Brand, Levy, et al. are my best buddies & I don't think we've ever exchanged e-mail (well, once or twice maybe), they just keep popping up everywhere I turn. Heck, I may even have to write R.U.Sirius into my will, he feels like such an old pal...
