"The Physics of Information Processing Superobjects:
Daily Life Among the Jupiter Brains"
by Anders Sandberg
ABSTRACT: Physics limits information processing, and hence the
possible forms of intelligent beings and their civilizations.
In this review I discuss physical limitations on density, speed,
size, energy dissipation and communication, sketching the
constraints on very powerful information processing objects.
