The intent of this page is to present the work of both sides. For a while now, I’ve held on to the scraps of James Standard’s The Last Capitalization. In order to balance it, I’ve decided to present the case of the other side – a less formal and organized treatise than Standard’s, so the modders get the audience they deserve.
As a postscript, I’ve included my initial thoughts that brought me to this decision:
Reading this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron got me thinking:
What if James Standard is the interloper changing human history, softening us for the whatever future is planned? Who know who James Standard really is?
And, on the opposite side of that coin, to combat the forces (physical and social) brought to bear against them, the modders will compile their own handbook. The M is really more of a manifesto – part religious, warlike zeal and part philosophy – these are people who are not only fighting for their lives and their way of life, but they will find out who and what James Standard is.
So if James Standard has his Last Capitalization – his entreaty to recruit the powerful and wealthy – then what do the others, the modders, the alts, the ten-ups have? Their own manifesto. Where’s does Delilah fit in?
This is a new conflict of old, rigid power structures (governmental and corporate monoliths) vs loose and free-flowing, equally dispersed power structures (grassroots organizations). The obvious parallel to modern conflict is that of Governments vs Terrorists. This will look a little different, because there will be more information sharing among the modders – but that information will all be internal external encrypter (inexec). Their brains won’t be aware of it because it’s not technically stored in their brain, but rather a memory chip in their body – only accessable via a key. The key can be beamed wirelessly, thus allowing a handler to remotely unlock and change the data. But the key-carriers and data-carriers never overlap – the two are always held in different hands/bodies, so if one is caught, the other is safe. And if one is caught, they’re instructed to manually destroy the information they carry.
