I finished the first Robert Sawyer book (about aliens) and am almost done with the second one www.wave. About what it would be like for the internet to gain consciousness. Am about to start Hominid, about what it would be like if Neanderthals had survived and a book he won many awards for and is consider one of his best. In the book wave, he not only has fun with both Chomsky and Pinker regarding interspecies communication, introduces concepts like Zipf law and Shannon entropy, he also uses Helen Keller's experience into the book to talk about consciousness rising. That is such a brilliant way to explain what it is like to go from a sort of intellectual void to an enlightened consciousness. He is such an aware guy. And I don't know how anyone can gain as much knowledge as he has. My dear old mom used to talk about Helen Keller a lot, along with Eleanor Roosevelt, and so it was inspirational to me. And a bit nostalgic.
