Before the Snowden stuff... mmm probably yes.
I'd bet that quote comes from an old issue of "Mondo 2000" and is contempory with the Clipper Chip battles about mandated NSA backdoors in all telecoms circa '93/94.
- chucksmash 11y agoOh man. I read a story (possibly found on HN?) a few months ago about a guy growing up reading 90s techno-utopia stuff. He used the last of his money to go to a convention only to become disillusioned with it when he saw his idols were just making it up as they went. It was a really interesting read - does this ring a bell for anybody? I'm sure Mondo 2000 was mentioned in it.

- rm_-rf_slash 11y agoThank you. That was the best read in weeks.
- chucksmash 11y agoThat's exactly it. Good pull!
- csixty4 11y agoI make it a point to read it at least once a year, because so much of it resonates with me. Always fresh in my mind.
