this is an information space for anyone interested in the whereabouts or welfare of nick routledge, curator of world3 and a space without a goal.Nick has asked for a copy of this letter to Richard Oliver to be published...In July 1996 nick embarked on a hunger strike. He was committed to saint john's hospital, santa monica, and his fasting brought him very close to death. His family then took him to England where he resumed eating and has been making a slow recovery.
why was he starving?
what can we do?if you want more of this sketchy information, we have an archive of recent writings and emails. as far as we know, some of these have been smuggled out of the hospital, where he is being held -possibly - against his will.
if you want to participate in sohbet, the online conference that he wishes to exist, you are welcome to register.
If you have already registered, you can go straight to the sohbet forum.
If you want a better feel for what the sohbet conference is all about they you might like to read john chris jones' proposals for a structure. These are taken from conference postings but might provide a useful starting point.
