I was in Ames, IA at their VR symposium in April and Ray Kurzweil was the capstone speaker and was promoting his recent book, The Singularity is Near... I don't agree with most of what he concludes but I do believe most of his facts are right on... I scored a signed copy... read about 2/3 of it before I got tired of thinking about how everyone probably wants to live forever... at least Kurzweil does, even (especially) if as a disembodied digital version... - Steve ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
