This summer, Wired writer Evan Ratliff wrote a story about how people erase their identities and start over. After it ran, he tried to disappear—spending 25 days on the lam until a few enterprising Wired readers tracked him down through some brilliant hacking and sleuthing. Now we’re going to try the experiment again. The contest (to promote the movie “Repo Men”): Four applicants willing to disappear from their lives from late February to late March. If they can stay hidden for that time period, they’ll end up with $10,000 each. Not only are they recruiting people to fall off the grid, they are recruiting hunters.
