Hi Cory,

Re this passage:

"Gibson is no technologist, he's an accomplished and insightful social critic ... and he treats these items from the real world as metaphor. But ... Gibson's metaphorical treatment of these technologies will date this very fine book".

It would seem this comment is, in retrospect, is a bit unfair. I suspect that many folks are now getting very intimately antiquated with keystroke loggers as the proliferation of malware continues.

Watermarking would seem to be a ideal way for the creators of the footage to preserve their copyright on the "footage" without using DRM. Indeed watermarking may be the solution to DRM many of us are looking for.

These elements in the plot seem quite prescient to me and seem to point to where we may be heading.

Kind Regards

Simon
