M. Buckner. The jaded ultra-rich elite kit themselves up with hi-tech gear and tour warzones.

I just finished reading Kevin Sites' "In the Hot Zone - one man,one year, twenty wars". He became a one man news team for Yahoo! News, traveling the globe and getting himself in deep. It really gave me a fresh perspective on how wars are covered, and reminded me that there are dozens of "tiny" brushfire wars raging all over the planet, all eclipsed by the media's choices of "prioritizing" coverage and news worthiness.

This feels like the threads from a Gibson novel...

]]> <![CDATA[War Tourism In A Flying Bus]]> Sounds vaguely similar to a short story by J. G. Ballard I read a while back. I think it was "War Fever", about Beirut being cordoned off by the UN and kept as an ongoing battle for decades. I'll have to find that collection and re-read the story now. Ought the read more Ballard, in general, now that I think about it...
