I finished reading the "Cryptonomicon" today. An excellent book. Stephenson
claims it is not in the least a roman a clef but repeated references to a
group called "Eutropians" make me think otherwise. Are there any prominent
Extropians who wear black cowboy hats, and are deep into crypto? Is there a
Scandinavian cryonicist and hacker who suffered injuries in his workplace,
possibly due to an imploding monitor?

I wonder if Stephenson ever posted or lurked here.
