“A great science fiction detective story” - Ian Watson, author of The Universal Machine
I recently came across the video embedded below, created by Jason Silva (@Jason_Silva), and thought it belonged here for its spirit and enthusiasm, if not for every part of its content.
Silva dedicates it to:
Carl Sagan, Ray Kurzweil, Timothy Leary, Buckminster Fuller, Stewart Brand, The Imaginary Foundation, Chris Anderson from TED, Linda Mishkin, Richard Feynman, and all the curious and the wonderful…
I rate this selection pretty highly.
Now, Carl Sagan and Ray Kurzweil are kind of gimmes among technophiles these days, Stewart Brand and Feynman are classic choices, and Chris Anderson is pretty au courant, but not that many people include Leary and Fuller in their honour rolls any more and the Imaginary Foundation is a pretty damned outré – so kudos in particular for those choices Mr. Silva.
And as for Linda Mishkin, well I’d never heard of her and you probably haven’t either, so click on her link and find out.
And enjoy the video.
