I enjoy checking in on Cliff Pickover's The Six Thousand and thought I'd launch a similar effort here at Posthuman Blues. So from time to time I'll name-drop some people who warrant "visiting" online, limiting my round-up of hipsters and visionaries to those who maintain their own websites.

The first five, in no particular order:

Hans Moravec (roboticist)

Michio Kaku (theoretical physicist)

Jacques Vallee (astronomer, ufologist)

Neil Gaiman (author)

John Shirley (author, musician)

Michio Kaku's book Hyperspace wass definitely on of my most life changing books. I read it when I was 17 and it literally blew to pieces my conception of reality. I haven't looked back since!

Good choice...

Kaku's "Visions" is good, too. And I like his TV appearances. He seems like a very nice, approachable guy.

I didn't rate visions as much - futurology is never as predictive as a good science-fiction story.

Some nice ideas though

Futurology is at its best when it's attempting to *prevent* the future.
