Y2K: Who Will Do What and When Will They Do It?

An essay from the Awakening book mentioned previously. This is an expansion of the version in the book that includes several diagrams.

The key points are that people, companies and governments are still unwilling to share information on Y2K which is needed to locate points of failure so we can build contingencies, and that we have to be very careful that we do not end up in a post Y2K world dominated by thugs (imagine post-Soviet, gangster-saturated Russia, now imagine that world-wide. Sucks, huh?)
