The Laurie Garrett email fiasco is turning into an event of major proportions (at least in the small pond of blogging). You may remember that I linked to her email to friends about Davos the other day, mainly as a springboard for my own thoughts about what imminent events might do to the global economy, and how that scares the crap out of me, but the meta-story around the email itself is pretty compelling on its own. Here are some links:
- the original email
- the MetaFilter thread
- Garrett’s reaction to the MetaFilter thread
- LawMeme article about the controversy
- Bruce Sterling’s annotations to the original email
