The Virtual Community: Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier

Prophet of Electronic Power to the People
Everyone seems to miss what I think is the most important the point of Howard's book. First published in 1993 and now in the expanded edition, the bottom line on this book is that the Internet has finally made it possible for individuals to own the fruits of their own labor--the power has shifted from the industrial age aggregators of labor, capital, and hard resources to the individual ...

On the tip of my tongue...
How many times have you thought to yourself, 'I wish there were a word for this' ? Sometimes a feeling, sometimes an object, sometimes a description simply defies a simple one or two word construction, but rather involves lengthy comparison and development to get the point across, and often (particularly in conversation) doing such development leads away from the main topic of discussion. ...

Sacred and Scary Reflections on Neo-Biologicial Civilization
First published in 1991, this is a gem that should be one of the first readings of anyone contemplated the sacred and the scary aspects of how humans, machines, and software are being changed by emerging information technologies. While there is a lot of focus on "cool tools" and all the paraphenalia of "virtual reality" qua artificial sensation and perception, the rock bottom foundation of this ...

Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution

Howard Rheingold

Basic Books, 2003

Smart Mobs. Smarter Marketers.
The cool thing about "Smart Mobs" is that it's really happening. People are behaving in "linked" ways that transcend the obvious demographic definitions of groups we typically think of as "behaving in unison." As technology and the infrastructure arriving with it enable increasingly extemporaneous networks between people, marketers are similarly challenged to reach outside of traditional mass ...

Rheingold 10, Gates 0
Howard Rheingold, former Editor of the Whole Earth Review and one of the pure-gold original thinkers in the Stewart Brand and Kevin Kelly circle, lays down a serious challange to both decisionmakers and software producers that has yet to be fully understood. Originally published in 1985, this book was a "must read" at the highest levels of advanced information processing circles then, but sadly ...

Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming

Stephen Laberge, Howard Rheingold

Ballantine Books, 1990

Techniques to Achieve Higher Consciousness
LaBerge begins where his first book, LUCID DREAMING, left off, by recapping exactly what lucid dreaming is: the mind realizing that it is dreaming while the body remains asleep, producing a far more vivid dreamscape, one that can be controlled with enough practice. The book is first and foremost a user's guide: how can we access that wonderfully altered state called the lucid dream? Drawing ...

Prentice Hall Trade, 1987

The Cognitive Connection by Levine
The work demonstrates how programming in Prolog is a declarative activity. The syntax of Prolog requires 2 premises recorded. These statements are known as rules. Variables are capitalized. Once the rules are set forth, the user queries "What" to prompt the next series of statements. Prolog is a logic based system utilized in much of AI programming.
