Eliezer,

I hope the book Max is currently writing will fit into your "Stuff That Works" category, even if it is published before the onset of the Singularity. I do wonder if his work is meant simply to inform, or if it has a higher purpose to actually enlighten in the way Rand's books seemed to have done for many people over the years.

simply curious,

John
