John and David Gelernter are both Digerati and Ted could just have easily picked John not David. @adam Kind of weird that JOHN HAS NO IDEA ABOUT ANY OF THIS....
The "Digerati" list is still on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digerati and John is still listed as "The Gadly". Another person on the list is David Gelernter. In 1993 he was sent a mail bomb by Ted Kaczynski, known as the Unabomber, which almost killed him and left him with some permanent disabilities: he lost the use of his right hand and his right eye was permanently damaged. @adam
Brockman becomes an agent for books by physicists, genetic researchers and computer scientists. He markets them like pop stars. In the 90s, his publishing copany is the center of a global network f scientists, artists and media managers whom he refers to as the "Digerati" @adam
