Wow! Thanks for bringing that up Jean-Francois. I have been a fan of A.A.
Attansio since reading Radix way back in 1983. A book that was way ahead of its
time, and many ways still is. I agree with completely on your assessment of AAA
and consider his writing transhumanist/extropian in every meaningful sense of the
word(s).

There is a somewhat casual fan site of AAA at:

For those who are interested, I recently added a page to my web site featuring
several extropian books with links to authors and in some cases full-text online!
