Sacred and Scary Reflections on Neo-Biologicial Civilization
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago

While there is a lot of focus on "cool tools" and all the paraphenalia of "virtual reality" qua artificial sensation and perception, the rock bottom foundation of this book can be found in Howard reflections on what it all means for the transformation of humans, business, and society in general.
