For those not familiar with it, _Forbes ASAP_ is a spinoff of _Forbes_
magazine that tracks information technology trends for corporate
executives. Their 9612 "Big Issue" is available online
http://www.forbes.com/asap/120296/the_big_issue.htm
and spares no expense in gathering articles from big-name
commentators.
The "History and Politics: FLYING FAST ON MEMORIES AND INSTRUMENTS
ALONE" section features articles from Mark Helprin and Newt Gingrich
to Ralph Nader and Jeremy Rifkin.
The "Private Life: FINDING OUR CYBER WAY HOME" section features
articles from Esther Dyson and Michael Kinsley to Al Goldstein and
Camille Paglia.
The "Science and Technology: STUMBLING TOWARD A FINAL THEORY" section
features articles from Bill Gates and Andy Groves to Nicholas
Negroponte and Steven Weinberg.
The "Public Life: ...AND SPEAK OF THE DEATH OF INSTITUTIONS" section
features articles from Tom Wolfe ("Sorry, But Your Soul Just Died")
and Peter Huber ("The End of Law and the Beginning") to Tom Peters and
Michael Hammer.
Finally, there is George Guilder's "Last Words: What Civilization
Can't Afford to Forget" where he derides "a new generation of
Nietzschean neuroscientists intoxicated with the notion that they have
mastered the mind".
You might find it entertaining.
