Duane's intro to Irwin gave me an idea: a mash-up of Joe Frank with Joe Franklin. Both of them use a lot of pauses, so it should be convenient to interdigitate each other's monologs.

"Commissar" of an Illinois town? Rebellion "using computer science"? Hackers "squeezed like oranges"? "Short cyborgs" as a name for anything? The elimination of all descriptive phrases? Dialogue that "continues without pause (I'm assuming with no chapter breaks)? Pseydonym cribbed from either Burroughs or ER? Ooookaaayyyy...

Robert:

Lately I've been the unpaid agent of Halton Adler Mann, an old journalist who's now blind, broke, and in a nursing home and with no keyboard, but still wants to get his stuff out there, so I xcribe it (even do a little copy editing) over the phone and e-mail it as submissions.
Avatar 3:16pm
Caryn:

@Parq: I think you were supposed to guess that all the orgies and black masses would include the explicit eroticism before they even mentioned it.

Also, does the end of the plot summary mean that in the end, the heroes will be non-rogue Freemasons, who suddenly come out of nowhere to kick rogue Freemason ass and save the hackers?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:17pm
Parq:

Dug that Field Mouse track, by the way.
  3:18pm
Robert:

Since he didn't have a private phone, it was fun the scene around him in the nursing home when Halton dictated his erotica to me. A lot more fun than his op-eds or poetry.

Caryn:

I'm now suspecting that this is not so much a half-Dan Brown, half paranoid cyber thriller book, but the Freemason version of "Battlefield Earth". Let's tell a pulpy action story while hammily trying to lure people in. The whole Freemasons "regain the nobility of intent and action that has distinguished them in their historic and social path over the centuries" thing leads me to think so. If in one of the twists "Ermes the Mentor" turns out to be some major Freemason poobah, I will consider my theory proven correct.

Of course, I don't live in Illinois, so for all I know, it's citizens have been been encouraged to rebel against mysterious cults and rapist/paedophile killer Commissars for years now. BTW, does "paedophile killer" mean he's a paedophile and a killer, or that he kills paedophiles? Enquiring minds want to know.

Also, I question calling the book "Hacker's Diary" if it consists only of non-stop dialogue. Surely that goes against the expectation of a diary format put forward by the title?

The Joe Frank piece had that quality he often does of sucking you in with plausibility, gradually taking you to either the absurd or the incredible. It was hilarious. This is one of those that could be mashed up with Joe Franklin as suggested above. It would be easier using this episode than the one where they were going to turn the Dominican Republic into a ski resort.
