This is old news
This is old news, this was from 2004 the book was never published. There's a summary of the whole issue in the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samizdat_(book)

Yeah, this is really FUD
I interviewed Ken Brown for the Digital Tipping Point film. I can't wait to get his footage up on the Internet Archive's Digital Tipping Point Video Collection. We have lots of footage, which is why it's not up already. But Ken Brown is a crank, short and sweet. Let's please not revive this story.
If you want to find the DTP collection, go to Archive dot org and search for digital tipping point.
