Dark Web is about as close to the days of it. I miss those days but I do enjoy the fact books that were impossible to get are easy to obtain now. Adam Parfrey’s death was the final nail of that culture. But, he did lay the ground work for us in this manifesto of sorts;
“And, in the future, while the dumb show of bohemianism plays itself out in the cookie cutter shape of the politically correct martyr/victim, aesthetic terrorists will not involve themselves in the dubious rewards of celebrity. The best of them will work alone, already a part of the enemy camp, and in chameleon-like style master the fifth-column algorithms to subvert the ancient regime. We won’t know them by their name but their compensation will be to affect the outcome of the planet. Until then, there’s a lot of work to be done.” ~ Adam Parfrey
