"Being Digital" spinde

I thought you guy's would enjoy this...

I found out Nicholas Negroponte, the author of 
"being Digital" encoded a message in the spine of the book
all ones and zeros. It's a decent book, and not 
much about crypto except for the spine. 

I made a text file mof the 1260 bits on the spine.

a sample perl script is included to grab the bits.

Next mont's issue of wired is supposed to have 
a discussion about the spine and the encrypted messages.

the only hint I've got is:
   000 000 111

I know how you guys love this stuff, he says it's 
(the code) is unbreakable...
