Oh wow, I remember the author of this piece, Phil Agre. I used to subscribe to his email list, Red Rock Eater News Service, it was a frequent series of references to academic articles that had been published, pretty eclectic but pretty "sociology-y and political" too (claimed Red in the title had nothing to do with his pinko tendencies). UCLA keeps the archives up because... https://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/agre/ https://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/agre/ well, I don't want to label him in some way he might not want to be labelled, but if my life followed that trajectory... bit of a tragic life. He was a college professor, then he disappeared. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Agre#Disappearance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Agre#Disappearance >On October 16, 2009, Agre's sister filed a missing persons report for Agre.[6] She indicated that she had not seen him since the spring of 2008 and became concerned when she learned that he had abandoned his apartment and job sometime between December 2008 and May 2009.[6] Agre was found by the LA County Sheriff's Department on January 16, 2010, and was deemed in good health and self-sufficient.[7] Somebody later updated his whereabouts on wikipedia but it got deleted because "biography of a living person" and "original research/not reliable source" but I think it was accurate. You can probably guess. Police were able to find him, he at that time did not wish to be contacted.
