Brian Cantwell Smith covers similar topics in his book on the origin of objects. I have only browsed the beginning of it though, so I can not give it an unconditional recommendation. A talk of his can also be found here http://www.c-span.org/congress/digitalfuture.asp Will Pearson P.S.
Whoever else interested in these papers can also send me emails. However, since these papers are not available for the public, please don't distribute them.
I would be interested in a copy of these papers. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
