I'm bummed. I lost track of my thrift-store copy of _The Last Whole Earth Catalog_ during my last move. A massive, far-ranging document that exposes as utter nonsense the revisionist neocon lies about the 1960s counter-culture.

Then, in the Whole Earth [Review|Quarterly|etc.] Brand, and his cohort tackled topics that didn't reach the mainstream media until years later. They dragged personal computing out of its obscure hobbyist nook into the sunlight with a thoughtful review journal. Under Kelly's editorship, WER talked deep about space colonies and virtual reality and cyberspace, and published articles by guys like David Brin and Bruce Sterling.

And SIGNAL . . . way out of date in many ways, but I've got my copy right here at work, right between _Infinite in All Directions_ and _The Evolution of Useful Things._
