Lovely.

some books I’d recommend

  • Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter
    You won’t understand all of it, but you’ll definitely be glad you read it.
  • The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil
    It’s twice as long as it really needs to be, but I definitely share Kurzweil’s vision of the future.
  • Great Mambo Chicken and The Transhuman Condition by Ed Regis

    Walk the fine line between science fact and fiction on this freewheeling and riotously funny tour through some of the most serious science there is. (from blurb)

  • A Mind of Her Own: The Evolutionary Psychology of Women by Anne Campbell
    This was a textbook I used for a University class, but it completely redefined the way I understood human nature.

favourite films

  • 2001: A Space Odyssey and its lesser-known sequel 2010: The Year We Make Contact
    The ultimate sci-fi classics.
