Barry—

 

I’m sorry to have lost sight of this… I’m afraid we don’t have a link to him that I could ascertain—appears he once co-authored a book, long ago, w/ a WH client, but he’s not anywhere in our database, and I wasn’t able to find a trail.  Sorry.

Hey Dan, does anyone at WH know or represent William Gibson?  I'm sure he's a busy guy, but also have a feeling this could be right up his alley.

You're right about providing more info to Stephenson when we contact him. At this point, I'd actually like to speak to William Gibson instead. Here's the message if you can deliver it:

 

William-

 

This is Barrett Brown. I run an organization called Project PM and am a figure in the Anonymous movement. Formerly I was a contributor to Vanity Fair, The Guardian, Huffington Post, Skeptical Inquirer, Skeptic, The Onion, New York Press, and other outlets as well as an author. I don't know to what extent you have followed Anonymous, but if anyone has the right to inside knowledge on what it is and where it is going, it's you. More to the point, some things are about to happen and I wish to get your input on how they should happen. Suffice to say that you are in the best position to figure out what it is that "PM" stands for. I understand if you have no interest in having such a discussion; otherwise, you can reach me.
