Thom, this is a wonderful idea. What we desperately need right now are
publishing venues for transhumanist ideas--as many as possible! I
would very much like to have a
book to place on my bookshelf that contains a variety of viewpoints,
ideas and essays that reflect the diversity within transhumanist
thought. So many people enjoy browsing through friends' bookshelves,
or in bookstores, or sharing books and this is an excellent way to reach the
ninety percent of the world that does not have a web browser.
Please put me on your list as a contributor. I would bet there's
something sitting in my hard drive right now that would suit....
Sin,
Kathryn Aegis
