Whole book online in HTML and PDF format here.
As the author of this book, I offer this grid of what the book is, and is not:- is a terse short manual
- is for readers who can understand systems science
- is about extropic systems
- is about epistemic technology
- is about the Anthropocene geological era
- is for the bourgeoisie-technologist
- is supportive of industrialization
- is written in a style inspired by the Tao Te Ting
- is progressive ideals of cultural inclusiveness and diversity
- is compatible with the perspectives of Ayn Rand
- is supportive of evolution and change as a demand on all things
- is supportive of mobility and adaptation as a demand for all humans
- is supportive of violence in defence of society's continued dynamism
- is supportive of treating intentional pacifist localized economies as powerless tributaries
-
is appropriate for all brilliant children as a source of inspiration and guidance
- not a manual with detailed implementation
- not supportive of a return to more primitive ways of living
- not for absolute local economies
- not for absolute pacifism
- not for religious morals imposed on wider society
- not for a totalitarian society engineered not to evolve
- not for legislation designed to prevent individual and community death by failure
