Digital Security Technology, etc.

The website, unknowncountry.com has a good post on digital security & mentions Kevin Mitnick.
Cyber_security is essential but electronic-tracking of the public has the potential to get outrageous. Several books & movies have provided warnings of how things could get.
Kevin Mitnick is one of several people that can find there way around computers & the Internet.

The Concept of The Global Data System goes back quite a ways.
Once a Hypertext_Editing_System was established then there had to be a World_Wide_Web. Eventually the development of locating each web_page became a goal for Larry_Page who became a key component in creating the algorithm for the PageRank. Although Vannevar_Bush didn't have the same level of technology that was available to the founders of Google, he was already realizing the potential for a global library or database that would become The Internet.

From the (Crimson) Sky Down and into the U2 MATRIX

Before people got to see the first MATRIX movie in 1999, U2 transitioned into their cyberpunk ZOO TV entertainment phase. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-09-12-tm-34172-story.html , 
"the tour began in Lakeland, Florida, on 29 February 1992 and ended in Tokyo, Japan, on 10 December 1993."

We’re free to fly the crimson sky...

"And I have no compass and I have no map" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooropa_(song)  


William Gibson has had some key influence for U2 over the years.
Thus, its not surprising that there was some collaboration.


William_Gibson was born on March 17, 1948. Is it that surprising that a famous band from Ireland would eventually cross paths with him? http://people.loyno.edu/~hobbs/bib/wgibson.htm

U2 ZOO TV Tour

ZOO TV 1st leg: North America

: Lakeland Arena - Lakeland, Florida, USA


There happens to be a Lake_Gibson in Lakeland,_Florida

Of course 1992-2-29 was a leap-year and that was perfect for U2 to symbolically venture down The_Rabbit hole.

"U2 started the Zoo Tv Tour on February 29, 1992 with a sold out concert with a total of 7,400 people."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RP_Funding_Center There is a W. Lemon Street near by.

Zoo TV Live from Sydney 1993-11-27

There is a lot of synchronicity between, W.Gibson, U2 and The_Matrix, that should be revealed.
