Hacker News Reader

a) I didn't know this guy was both involved with the Dead AND the EFF! Fascinating.

b) I didn't know that such interesting business happened in Millbrook. Millbrook! Man that is like twenty minutes away.

Bruce Sterling's "The Hacker Crackdown" is a really interesting book that goes into detail about his involvement with the EFF and how it came about in the first place. It's a great read and available online at http://www.mit.edu/hacker/hacker.html

As far as I know most of the people involved with the EFF were big into psychedelics. E.g. I know Stewart Brand is on the board of directors, and he has written about his LSD usage many times. So has Mitch Kapor.
