Mole People: Hackers, sex freaks, revolutionaries, and other weirdos who have taken to the electrosphere to preach their causes.
Social Workers: Tireless servants who endure the endless stream of Net-based nonsense. Example: the "hosts" of online communities, who often work for free accounts.
Cybercops: They patrol chat rooms and bulletin boards, looking for lurid material and for offensive people: pedophiles, stalkers, "mole people."
Cab Drivers: Itinerant new-media freelancers -- designers, HTML coders, copywriters, beta-testers -- whose unscrupulous managers often skip out before paying their "fares."
Fry Cooks: Found sweating over work that's behind schedule, they bear the brunt of managerial tirades.
Gold Diggers and Gigolos: The schmoozers, cheerleaders, and opportunistic philanderers who hold well-paying jobs, even though no one is quite sure what they do.
Priest and Madmen: Influential journalists, analysts, and pundits who lend a touch of intellectual depth to a shallow industry.
