More on Long-Term Thinking, from the Dyson Clan

Stewart Brand just sent out a heads-up on the next Long Now Seminar:

The next Seminar About Long-term Thinking, on Oct. 5, will be unusual in important ways. The main difference is that making a phone or email reservation is the best way to ensure getting a seat. The problem is a very attractive event in a very restricted venue. The Fort Mason Conference Center only seats 310, but many more than that may want to see Freeman Dyson, Esther Dyson, and George Dyson together for the first time on a public stage, discussing "The Difficulty of Looking Far Ahead." So:

To ensure a seat for the Wednesday Oct. 5 talk at Fort Mason Conference Center, you'll need to call or email Simone Davalos at Long Now--- 415-561-6582; [email protected] and leave your name. At the event we'll try to find seats for standbys, and there's a not-too-bad option of standing room outside the windows.

I've added a sub-section to the Salon ride-sharing board for SALT as well, so please check it if you plan to attend and would be interested in carpooling.

Given your interest in Stewart Brand's work, you might be interested to know that Stewart Brand has recently endorsed a techno-thriller novel about the American nuclear power industry, written by a longtime nuclear engineer (me). This book provides an entertaining and accurate portrait of the nuclear industry today and how a nuclear accident would be handled. It is called “Rad Decision”, and is currently running as a serial at RadDecision.blogspot.com. There is no cost to readers.

I'd like to see RAD DECISION widely read.” - - Stewart Brand.

Discussing our energy future will be a lot easier if there is a better understanding of our energy present.

If you like what you see, please pass the word.
