Extropians,
I noticed in the review of "Seeping With Extra-Terrestrials:
The Rise of Irrationalism and Perils of Piety" by Wendy Kaminer at the
Amazon.com page for this <URL:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/067944243X/extropyinstitute/>
has the following comment:

I take this comment against '"cyberspacy" claims made by
boosters of technological progress.' to indicate this book isn't to
hot on extropianism? I plan on getting and reading the book some time
to see what it has to say about this, but I wonder if any of you know
what is contained on this topic in this book and if any of you had any
thoughts or comments.
