That was such an amazing article. I still remember how long that story and how engaging it was. IIRC that issue of wired was like 20 pages thicker than the rest. Somewhere Stephenson talked about being grateful to Wired for not cutting it down to a 6k length. I still tell people the part about the library of Alexandria interconnect. Great story about the internet's adolescence.
