Thinking of Hakim Bey, I've always  wondered  about the unattributed 
influence  TRP had in Bey's concept of   Temporary Autonomous Zones.  
While Bey gives a lot of historical antecedents, his description of the 
political and social interactions in a TAZ and the interactions 
described "In the Zone"  of GR are remarkably similar.  Plus Bey's 
essays were written nearly a decade after the publication of GR.
