Mitch, thanks for pointing this out. I met Dr. Hart once at a conference
for the Foundation for the Future. I had a hard time figuring out why
he had been invited. It now makes sense. The book jacket combined with some
of my own research indicates he is quite a polymath. Its very good to know
more about his background.

The only thing I fear is that it is going to require a really robust
understanding of nanotechnology to fully paint a picture of the future.
There aren't many scientists who have that yet.

Robert
