Here’s a short radio program from 99% Invisible about the group called Anonymous. I hadn’t heard of them while I was writing the Unidentified, but the similarities are exciting. This program also mentions branding their own image before anyone else did it for them. Really interesting listen. Really inspiring phenomena.

Sure. Great for consumer privacy? That’s where it gets complicated.

Hm. Sounds like another good reason to consider supporting Buy Nothing Day.

I’ve been getting links from people saying: Look! It’s the Unidentified for real!

Thought I’d share them.

The revolution will be trademarked and put on a t-shirt . . .

Thanks to ktjoy and mcnorth.

I didn’t write the sound of Kid, Mikey, and Ari’s music with anything particular in mind. But in late stages of drafting, I heard Micachu and since then I imagined the characters’ music to sound similar to that band’s music. There were a lot of tiny synchronicities. I felt like they have similar approaches to creating sound, and similar awkward response to media interest… And look how cool hunters agree!
