An active contributor to online culture since 1990, when he bought his first
modem, Wershler-Henry co-authored the infamous Virus 23 Meme with Christian
B, and posted it on Andy Hawks' FutureCulture mailing list in 1993.
Douglas Rushkoff's book Media Virus: Hidden Agendas in Popular Culture (Ballantine
Books: 1994), takes its structure from and bases much of its argument on
this incident; Rushkoff writes that the philosophy behind the Virus 23 Meme
presents "the most subversive opinions that a person can hold [today]."
Wershler-Henry is currently writing his doctoral dissertation at York
University on the relationship between the typewriter and the poetics of
dictation in postmodern poetry.
