I am pretty sure Kotler would agree to a reading, a public talk, etc. to
publicize. I like Kotler's style and perspective in general but teaming
up with Diamandis was killer. I disagree with a lot of their
assumptions and their conclusions but like the general ideas they
espouse and the tone as an antidote to our modern cynicism about the
past, present and future.
I hugely disagree with much of the Kurzweillian Utopic Singularity but
like the Kotler/Diamandis variation a bit more.
Kotler and I have bandied about quite a bit on his perspectives on
Abundance and what it means for the future... and in fact, it informs my
opinions/position on the topic of "Will to Power" in the last mailing...
I've already pinged him about when good timing for a talk/reading at SFx
would be appropriate. We'll see!

Steven Kotler's book, Abundance, is in pre-release ordering.
Please check it out! e-book's will be available at release.
Congratulations, Steven!
Any chance we could have a talk on the ideas in the book? Either view
a video, have an author drop by, do a book-read and chat?
