This list is the first place I heard of Echelon, and a lot of other
things, from crypto to TEMPEST and more. Maybe it's not at
the moment at its peak level on politico-technology, but nuggets
continue to appear, particularly those which provide a densepack
of information dressed up with enlightening critique, context
and history. Thanks for those, Tim, and to all who take the
time to lay out what may be familiar to you but continually
beneficial to others.
Tim, perhaps your novel evolved into Cyphernomicom, a jewel
of narration, chockfull of scary, thrilling, enlightening techno-threads,
perhaps the most richly-featured hypertext to appear.
Is there to be a sequel? Okay, okay, fuck me.
Bamford's supposed to have one coming, now how long has that
been rumored? Jeffery Richelson's got a piece on Echelon due out
shortly in Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, or is it out now?
