Inkwell: Authors and Artists

    
Those are good ideas, but we need help to make 'em happen. <pjm>
could you ask <vard> and <lagoon> if they're up for interviews, and
let me know via email? I should be able to pick up from there.
  

    
Will do.
  

    
Messages sent. <lagoon> responded enthusiastically right away. You
should be hearing from them soon.
  

    
Yes, we're in touch. Thanks!
  

    
Speaking of Business, someone ought to update the public front page
at <www.well.com> with a link to Topic 518 to make it easier for
search engines to find "savage journey" and "Hunter S. Thompson" and
"Gonzo."

Thanks, Jack. That's happening - it's usually a couple of days after
a new conversation starts.
  

    
Ok!
  

    
I am really pleased that Ben Tarnoff, author of 
"Internet for the People: The Fight for Our Digital Future" will be
joining us in inkwell Starting on Aug 2.

The book looks at the many ways in which internet services, from the
physical infrastructure to our personal data, have been handed over
to major monopolies, what that means, and how we might take it back.
There's a lot to talk about and the book is really, really clear and
clear-headed.

To get ready for the discussion, we have a few pdf's of the book to
share to those willing to commit to participating. To get your copy,
send your address info to inkwell@well.com, asap. Subject line
should read:  "'Internet for the people' copy".

Really looking forward to a good discussion. (Copies are also
available at local libraries and finer booksores, everywhere.)
  

    
Wow! That sounds great, Ari.
  

    

sounds like a great guest.
  

    
Yes, that does sound good. I've been using another book by him
(about Mark Twain and the San Francisco bohemians) in my classes at
San Francisco State. 
  

    
Looking forward to it.
