Yes and I had a great conversation just now with Moshe, who seems to be running the new Framework initiative, about which I can say nothing since I just "signed" a verbal NDA. I will look into "After the Internet : Alien Intelligence". In fact, I have just inked a new writing deal for which he and this book might prove prime material! Thanks!

I read this book as a Xeroxed copy that times - these were here the times we have had a few foreign books translated (but all the main articles from many magazine were available in English although photocopied only also). He has written another book now "After the Internet : Alien Intelligence" (he has 100+ books published AFAIK) - will that be as right in his predictions as the one from eighties....
