Michael-

I'm a writer and author who just ended a six-month stint as de facto
spokesperson and strategist for the Anonymous collective, during which time
I was involved in our operations to assist North African revolutionaries,
our investigation into HBGary Federal and other intelligence contractors
engaged in wrongdoing, and Operation Metal Gear, a crowd-sourced
investigation I announced two months ago on Russia Today as a means by which
to prompt media coverage of "persona management," the practice of
software-assisted "sock puppets" that was revealed to be employed by CENTCOM
via the e-mails we obtained from HBGary and which would appear to be a
growing industry in general. Previously I wrote for Vanity Fair, Huffington
Post, New York Press, Skeptic, Skeptical Inquirer, The Onion, and a variety
of other publications, including humor and policy outlets; I currently write
op-eds for The Guardian and al-Jazeera and am working on a film as well as
another book (my first, Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism,
Intelligent Design, and the Easter Bunny, was released in 2007 and received
acclaim from Alan Dershowitz, Matt Taibbi, and others). My unusual status is

been fortunate enough to see up-close over the past several years, in
particular the conflicts that have arisen between states and other
institutions on one hand and the increasingly-capable community of online
dissidents represented by such things as Anonymous, Wikileaks, and other,
newer groups that are now coming into existence. Although I've been quoted
extensively on these issues lately in various outlets and was the subject of
