Hey, I know that guy, too!

Who the fuck wrote this book? I don't know _those_ guys.

Altho I will note that they are incredibly repetitive, and their descriptions of "how things were" vs. how they are changing and what that implies are kinda thin, and maybe not what I would consider particularly, um, recognizable.

But they sure interviewed people I know when they wrote this book.
