This is a scrapbook of ideas. One can hardly call it a blog, but I maintain it to file away thoughts I find interesting, like shiny pebbles.

Isaac Asimov on the internet and technology
Isaac Asimov Contemplating the Future of the Planet
The other day I came across this great interview from 1988 with Isaac Asimov on Bill Moyers World of Ideas. It’s incredible hearing Asimov talk about the technology and the internet way before it evolved to become the greatest tool of our generation. The parallels Asimov draws in his books aren’t a surprise to those that are familiar with his work, especially the Foundation series. Psychohistory and mathematical sociology are closer to reality than ever before.
