Wired Magazine Article "Gone"

What surprised me about this article is that so much can be found out about a person through use of the internet. Also the idea that someone would want to escape the world and lose their identity is very interesting to me. Some questions I have are why would someone want to go through all of this? I feel that in today's digital world it isn't easy to disappear. Once you put something on the internet it is their forever. Everything that you might have put somewhere would be hard to keep up with and hard to track. This article relates to into the Wild because its about someone that basically leaves everything behind, and leaves the life they have known and vanishes in the world. This relates to Gatsby because when people try to create a new identity, that normally includes changing names and the name in this article is like the same name that Gatsby had before he changed his identity. This can relate to Invisible Man because the idea of leaving everything you are familiar with, and going into a new place is apparent in this article and invisible man.
