The Subway Game Copyright © 1980, Peter R. Samson (to home page) The Subway Game was a diversion that developed out of the frequent visits to New York by myself and various friends at M.I.T. In its basic form it requires two participants: an innocent victim, called the Contestant; and a more knowledgeable companion, called the Monitor. With some allowances, the game can be viewed as a simulation of the following scenario. A stranger to New York is going to visit some friends there. He gets a

Once upon a time, in their startling report titled "Bigger Monsters, Weaker Chains," ACLU analysts Jay Stanley and Barry Steinhardt argued that the US was quickly becoming a full-blown "surveillance society," where advanced technology and crumbling regulation come together to create the kind of world that was previously the domain of dystopian science fiction.

I am building as a side-project a tool called SuperVM.
