Is there a Norbert Wiener or Lawrence Lessig of the geowank world?
Somebody who is geeky but also policy-minded or philosophical, whose
ideas have inspired you to make map tools or build geolocation tech?
For me it was Goldfinger - and specifically the real time map display
in the centre console of Bond's Aston Martin. Seriously
Hmmm . . . wasn't quite what I was looking for, but it does make me want
to re-watch Goldfinger. :)
I should be clear that by map hackers, I mean people who are doing
real-time geolocation stuff too. In fact, that's going to be a big part
of my article. Really, I just want to write an article about geowanking,
but I don't think Wired will allow me to put "wank" in a headline. They
might, though.
