I have absolutely nothing against the CyberJedi, in a book on the "fiction"
self of the libraries. Or in a gonzo report of Hunter S. Thompson lying
intoxicated during the case under a computer rack of the Shimomura team
whith little green mitnicks hacking on his net of damaged neurons. But
daily newspapers are dedicated to bring us the facts about the latest
events, aren't they ? I mean Markoff would say he told the true story to
the public, wouldn't he ?

Anyway, let's give new heroes to postrambo America. Cyberia is unknown,
and mystified enough to replace Siberia. But in _my_ Hollywood version the
hero would be the shadovy cyberpunk Mitnick, the anarchist enemy of the
obedient, credit-card holding, rule-following, fanatically normal mainstream
society bringing money, rules and fences to the wonderfully chaotic world of
cyberspace. However necessary fences are.
