Has he written something He wrote "Islands In the Net" and "Schismatrix," as well as editing "Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology." He's also written a fair number of articles on everything from Japanese rock music to electronic freedom. If you're not into cyberpunk or it's nonfiction supporting literature such as Mondo 2000 and Whole Earth Review, you might not have heard of him. On another subject, I've done a fair amount of reading on both Operation Sun Devil and the Steve Jackson Games incident and hadn't heard about them being directly related at all. The Jackson fiasco came about (it is believed) because the Cyberpunk GURPS had some sort of potential to give information on how to committ computer crimes, which is ridiculous. -- ------- ======= ------- ======= ------- ======= ------- ======= ------- ======= uw-beaver!sumax!polari!lsh -- lsh@polari Lee Hauser If I pay for access, I don't have to disclaim ANYTHING!
