    • 2001, Gregory J. Rattray, Strategic warfare in cyberspace, page 352:
      The cyberelite made up of individuals such as Bill Gates, Mitch Kapor, and Esther Dyson emerged from a computer culture in the 1970s and 1980s that denigrated the government's role in the information age as that of an Orwellian big brother.
