Should I be thinking in terms of a chapter outline, or just a free-form piece explaining how we'll be handling things?

So here’s the email I’m sending out today to nudge things along.  Will let you know what sort of responses I get.  (No response at this stage will mean they simply haven’t read it yet.)

 

Barrett, I know I owe you a reply…  meanwhile, any further progress on the outline?

Hey, Charlie—

 

Don’t know if you had a chance to look at that ANONYMOUS proposal I sent you last week, but there’s interest in meeting with Gregg Housh and Barrett Brown and talking about various directions the book might take.  Looks like they’ll be in town a week from now, Monday and Tuesday, Sept 19 / 20.  

 

Is it too early to know, or do you think you might be interested in sitting down with them?  (A phone chat’s always an option too, of course.)

 

Meanwhile, don’t know if you saw it, but in Vanity Fair’s annual media movers-and-shakers rankings (this month) the first listing in “The Anti-Establishment” category is, of course, Anonymous:

 

“The world’s pre-eminent hactivist affinity group has waged holy cyber-war on a laundry list of Establishment brands, including PayPal, MasterCard, and Visa—rallying to the defense of their mother ship, WikiLeaks.  And no matter how many neckbearded I.T. guys the feds round up, it seems the “Anons”—a border-less, leader-less, ever expanding army of techno-vigilantes, misanthropic pranksters, human-rights crusaders, and free-speech absolutists—are here to stay.  In mid-July, some Anons took on the ultimate Establishment target, vowing to “kill” almighty Facebook on November 5 (Guy Fawkes Day).  As their slogan warns, they are legion, they do not forgive, and they do not forget.  If you mess with the little guy, expect them.”

 

Let me know if there’s a chance you might want to meet next week, will you?  Thanks.
