... 'The Six Cirles Movement' ...

BonDi Nettimers,

There must be someone among the 100 orso regular posters and 4000+ 
nettime lurkers who rememembers a WIRED magazine article somewhere in 
the 2nd half of the nineties (the hallowed era of "The Long Boom is 
Here, Got a Problem with That?") which was about a radiant, if somewhat 
problematic future: there is a fantastic (oeuf corse technology and 
entrepreneurship-driven ("Generation Equity") brilliant epoch coming up, 
but ... discontent lingers among the 6 billions orso not partaking in 
the new wealth. They form a protest movement called The Six Circles - 
like the Olympic ones, but one more - representing their numbers. Well, 
painful but necessary - we just gotta nuke'm! (orso). After this purge, 
the Earth's population is restored to a manageable number, and 
everybody's living happily ever after.

This dystopia was described - as far as I ccould remember - in a book, 
actually existing or phantasized by the article's author.

I'd like very much to find this article back. I couldn't. Anyone?
Thanks is advance!

Cheers, p+7D!
