The Paradox of the Silicon Savior

In the remaining years of a soon-to-be-concluded twentieth-century that will be remembered for record-shattering scientific and social developments, we face unique challenges. The Paradox of the Silicon Savior chronicles those challenges in a stunning, yet sensitive appraisal of America's High-Tech-Super-Culture ... its myths and realities ... the breakdown of the family ... disease ... the role of the arts, management, technology, education, and sexuality in the modern age. This leading-edge masterpiece is doing for civilizaton what Godel, Escher, and Bach did for science and technology. Its author is California scientist and artist Grant Venable. One of a new breed of high-tech, interdisciplinary thinkers, his literary output ranges over such varied terrain as the natural sciences, the arts and humanities, management, men's studies, and the nature of the learning process. --- from book's back cover
