From: David Gelernter To: Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation@gmail.com> Subject: Re: paris Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2011 11:47:32 +0000 The talking-city stream has an "action item" after each piece (a gallery opening nxt week; "remind you?"; a take- out pizza place; "order something?"; Bk review: "buy it"; concert: "tickets"; party; "tell yr friends?"). A question you asked John Brockman about proposed software--why do I want to be in this virtual world? Why do I want to go there? When you turn away fro this city-stream, you feel like yr missing something. Software to be built by 2 people (one is a first-rate local freelancer). I have a perfect editoress in mind: Yale sr, worked at Vogue last summer, runs her own campus mag, art major, completely connected, v small goodlooking blonde.
