Paul Gilster, US science author (b. 1949)
Email is reincarnating the age of letter-writing. We’re keeping in touch the way the Victorians did, building a personal community connected by a constant stream of letters sharing news and gossip. Email is reviving the ‘letter’ as a forum for wit, style, and personality, as well as an invaluable business tool.
Leslie Schroeder, US public relations executive

Don Logan, US media executive, Time Inc (b. 1944)

Cliff Stoll, US astronomer (b. 1950)

Noam Chomsky, US linguist, political activist (b. 1928)

David Williams, British author, presenter (b. 1950)

Eyler Coates, US librarian (1930-2002)
