Also, this is kind of a secret, but Gregg Housh and I are writing what I suppose will be the Anonymous book; the proposal went out a few days ago and we already have at least one publisher meeting next week in NYC, so it seems it'll be a big deal. Aside from Anonymous, I'm ensuring that a great deal makes it in regarding the intelligence contracting industry and especially some of the more interesting (and frightening) capabilities that we've been researching via several e-mail leaks starting with HBGary. One of these things, persona management, might interest you by virtue of where it's likely to lead; let me know if you'd like to see some written summaries of what's been discovered so far.

That's why he's key to this plan, which involves a constitutional framework written with early input from Arab women, plus whatever we can develop for virtual republics. Let me know if you get less busy. Wish I could make it to Austin but bogged down at the moment.

I'm talking to Radon again tomorrow. Please consider calling me tomorrow night. I don't have the same skills you have and you know perfectly well what it means to be a sci fi author.
