While he's still a very good friend, I had to stop representing him because he's become seriously religious, culturally very far right. He still had serious medical issues and needs to travel with someone. Worth talking to? Absolutely. To know what's up with him, you need to know about the bombing. Here's a 1-minute trailer from a German feature movie httplAvww.edge.org/3rd_culture/biosibrockman_DasNetz.html --- Recent, with video. I got this event together when Ballmer and Microsoft began taking credit for Cloud Computing, which was Gelemter's idea.... The central idea we were working on was this idea of de-localized information — information for which I didn't care what computer it was stored on. It didn't depend on any particular computer. I didn't know the identities of other computers in the ensemble that I was working on. I just knew myself and the cybersphere, or sometimes we called it the tuplesphere, or just a bunch of information floating around. We used the analogy — we talked about helium balloons. We used a million ways to try and explain this idea.
