    В 1990-е гг.

    Во второй половине 1990-х Кузнецов был
    одним из «отцов основателей» сетевой журналистики… одним из тех, кто давал имена, и он имеет право говорить от имени определённого поколения интеллектуалов (программистов, филологов, журналистов и писателей), точнее, части его, претендовавшей на роль новой интеллектуальной элиты или как минимум на статус самой продвинутой части этого поколения[1].
    Составил справочник «Интернет для журналиста» (совместно с Антоном Носиком), а также написал книгу мемуаров «Ощупывая слона. Заметки по истории русского Интернета».

  5. Andrey Chernov

    Андрей Александрович Чернов (Ache) родился в Москве приблизительно в 1966 году в семье служащих, настолько скромных, что об отце и матери Чернова практически ничего не известно. Когда Андрей был ребёнком и жил в удалённом от центра районе Москвы (Медведково), у него появилось странное чувство присутствия живых существ, которых не видел никто, кроме него. Некоторые дети развивают внутренний мир своей фантазии, но мир Чернова был больше похож на непосредственно ощущаемый, чем на воображаемый, поскольку он с детства был реалистом, любил порядок и был наделён математическими способностями.
