Читать книгу Digital Universe - Peter B. Seel - Страница 4

The second edition of this book is dedicated to my life partner

Kay Collins

She copy-edited every word in this edition and provided invaluable feedback on the content. She is my intellectual soulmate whose diverse interests added unique perspectives to this book. She also tolerated losing her daily hiking companion for months as I worked on the revised manuscript.

This book is also dedicated to two scientists and humanists who intimately understood the digital universe from very different perspectives:

Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider

(1915–1990)

pioneer computer scientist and intellect augmentation visionary

and

Neil Postman

(1931–2003)

semanticist and astute critic of technology
