In 2004-2007 there was a website called Big Dead Place, written by Raytheon contracted services workers. The site was a hoot, chronicling life in a big, dead place. They wrote about what it's like living in bunker conditions, and how they amused themselves. Cataloging all the McMurdo Station toilets and trying to defecate in them all, food and how they kept themselves in liquor, keeping an eye on the non serf residents (scientists). Funny stuff. I was sad to see it taken down.

One of the guys wrote a book in 2010: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40919.Big_Dead_Place

Digging for this post, discovered the guy unalived himself in 2012: https://www.reddit.com/r/antarctica/comments/pjmhst/big_dead_place_the_digital_wraith_edition/

In 2016, the rights to the book were purchased for development into a show/movie/series: https://variety.com/2016/tv/news/james-gandolfini-big-dead-place-hbo-drama-1201685566/

I have to wonder if this gents demise may be connected to his contractor work on the Continent. Also, by having the rights bought, was it a bid for secrecy about Antarctica? Who knows?

Now, I need to digg on Nicholas Johnson and what really happened to him.
