And I loved The Martian, liked Mark Watney and the nerdy but fun personality laden hard science Weir was able to string together. Here Weir introduces us to Ryland Grace – but not at first. Our hero doesn’t even know his own n" Read more of this review » |

“Winston Churchill once said "We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us.". In a broader context, we have shaped our technology to achieve greater productivity and responsiveness and now our technology is shaping our behavior where we are always "on-demand".

“There is a current perception is that science has overtaken Philosophy and in effect rendered Philosophy irrelevant.
Science, when sufficiently abstracted, approaches Philosophy in seeking questions we are unaware exist, though from a direction that is based on current measurable knowledge.
