Hey I remember that piece. Of course its far easier to remember Wired pieces that resurface in Google then most magazine pieces....

As for DeLanda, the Markets/Antimarkets stuff is probably his least post modern and most concrete work. Basic thesis is that the open information flow between universities and Silicon Valley business created a very different business environment then the closed secretive spaces of Route 128. And now Google seems to be following Microsoft's lead back into a secretive closed space more akin to 128 then the Valley.

Delanda! Woof! Thanks for the referral….I’ve printed out the paper, and will review for a Search Papers entry.I recall working on a Delanda piece at Wired – a “trialogue” with Dery and Pauline. It was – er – hard to make sense of – I always glaze over when French post modernism is tossed about. But I’m game to try again!

Interesting, definitely shades of DeLanda's Markets/Antimarkets, Silicon Valley/Route 128 analysis...
