Impearls: Update: Dyson essay back pointers
Item page — this may be a chapter or subsection of a larger work. Click on link to access entire piece.
Earthdate 2002-11-24
(SiteMeter has finally gotten propagated to all the leaves of the Impearls archives, so information is available about where people are coming from and what they're visiting. What a difference throwing a little light on the situation makes!)
Many thanks to Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit, for his initial link to Impearls' publication of Freeman Dyson's essay The World, The Flesh, and The Devil. Transhumanism also deserves a plug for providing a link.
Thanks moreover to Metanexus for linking to the Dyson essay. Metanexus, however, needs to fix its link (see here), which currently is ephemeral. Here's the correct permalink to Dyson's essay in the Impearls archive. (Metanexus has been e-mailed about this.)
And thanks to Dave Trowbridge at Redwood Dragon for his link and comment, “a sterling example of intelligent prognostication — and excellent science fiction,” with which I heartily agree. Redwood Dragon also has a discussion going about Dyson's essay.
UPDATE: 2002-11-26 08:00 UT: Thanks to DickT on the String Theory Discussion Forum for posting a link to the Dyson essay. A voluminous discussion has ensued there, but unfortunately most of it appears not connected with the substance of Dyson's paper.
