+    4154 When rumor about LoD's mastery of Georgia's switching network got
+    4155 around to BellSouth through Bellcore and telco security scuttlebutt,
+    4156 they at first refused to believe it.  If you paid serious attention to
+    4157 every rumor out and about these hacker kids, you would hear all kinds
+    4158 of wacko saucer-nut nonsense:  that the National Security Agency
+    4159 monitored all American phone calls, that the CIA and DEA tracked
+    4160 traffic on bulletin-boards with word-analysis programs, that the Condor
+    4161 could start World War III from a payphone.

+    11658 Kapor is a man with a vision.  It's a very novel vision which he and
+    11659 his allies are working out in considerable detail and with great
+    11660 energy.  Dark, cynical, morbid cyberpunk that I am, I cannot avoid
+    11661 considering some of the darker implications of "decentralized,
+    11662 nonhierarchical, locally empowered" networking.
+    11663 
+    11664 I remark that some pundits have suggested that electronic
+    11665 networking--faxes, phones, small-scale photocopiers--played a strong
+    11666 role in dissolving the power of centralized communism and causing the
+    11667 collapse of the Warsaw Pact.
+    11668 
+    11669 Socialism is totally discredited, says Kapor, fresh back from the
+    11670 Eastern Bloc.  The idea that faxes did it, all by themselves, is rather
+    11671 wishful thinking.
+    11672 
+    11673 Has it occurred to him that electronic networking might corrode
+    11674 America's industrial and political infrastructure to the point where
+    11675 the whole thing becomes untenable, unworkable--and the old order just
+    11676 collapses headlong, like in Eastern Europe?
+    11677 
+    11678 "No," Kapor says flatly.  "I think that's extraordinarily unlikely.  In
+    11679 part, because ten or fifteen years ago, I had similar hopes about
+    11680 personal computers--which utterly failed to materialize." He grins
+    11681 wryly, then his eyes narrow. "I'm VERY opposed to techno-utopias.
+    11682 Every time I see one, I either run away, or try to kill it."
+    11683 
+    11684 It dawns on me then that Mitch Kapor is not trying to make the world
+    11685 safe for democracy.  He certainly is not trying to make it safe for
+    11686 anarchists or utopians--least of all for computer intruders or
+    11687 electronic rip-off artists.  What he really hopes to do is make the
+    11688 world safe for future Mitch Kapors.  This world of decentralized,
+    11689 small-scale nodes, with instant global access for the best and
+    11690 brightest, would be a perfect milieu for the shoestring attic
+    11691 capitalism that made Mitch Kapor what he is today.
