Entertaining read. Some of it is clearly before my time, and some of it is timeless, I think. Was kind of amused when I got to the section on avoiding detection, specifically this bullet:
* I would keep in mind that the numbers I dialed on my phone could eventually be used to track me again. For example, if I called my girl friend frequently, after I changed numbers and location I might still be calling that number. The telcos now have toll record data base software that can cross reference and track this type of thing.
Very turn-of-the-millennium that this very basic mass-surveillance capability was even worth mentioning. Apparently the author died in 2010, pre-Snowden. Things have certainly changed.
