Morgan Russell is a social amphibian, samurai organizer, and living enigma who haunts the cafes of the world, particularly those of Budapest and Amsterdam. Ted Nelson has said, "I never knew what a socialite was before. (Morgan's) just like Bruce Wayne!" It is often said, "Morgan knows everyone!" This is not true – he merely knows almost everyone. If you know almost everyone and Morgan doesn't know you, please send your dossier and medical records to M.R., c/o LIVA, Brucknerhaus, Untere Donaulände 7, A-4010 Linz. M.R. founded "VR Everywhere!" and its performance/propaganda arm, Unofficial Reality Incorporated, in Budapest and Den Haag, respectively, in 1990. M. R. has been involved with VR since its early commercial days. He has dragged scores of willing victims into Autodesk to subject them to the terrors of VR. M.R. is a partner in Fun City Megamedia, publisher of "Mondo 2000" magazine, and has been an editor and publisher of "Reality Hackers" and "High Frontiers" magazines. M.R. sometimes writes for the "Whole Earth Review".Tobi Schäfer
