Re: <nettime> The Coming War on General Computation

Joshua:
 
I was wondering if there is also a transcription of the Q&A -- since,
as is often the case, that's where the rhetorical "nuance" of the
presentation tends to be expressed.
 
I believe it was there that Doctorow emphasized the *analogies* of the WAR  
ON DRUGS as well as the one-time practice of WITCH HUNTING to his "War on  
General Computing."
 
Analogies are extremely powerful devices when you are speaking to a CROWD  
and, analogizing as he did, this seemed to me to be at the heart of 
Doctorow's  "moral" argument.
