Overview

Major Washington Post profile of Philip Agre by Will Oremus, published in 2021. The article covers Agre's intellectual contributions, his prescience about surveillance and technology's social dimensions, and the mystery of his disappearance from public life. Reports that colleagues had located him alive.

This is one of the most significant secondary sources for the biography and one of the few substantial journalistic treatments of Agre's life and work.
