I just figured that were the best days. Lunch on Sunday is fine as well, though I won't be able to make it to dinner. FB is open for lunch from 11.30 to 3.45. Lets make it 1?

Re: [silk] KSR on the multigenerational Ponzi scheme
McKinsey has gone up in my esteem by getting Kim Stanley Robinson [1] to write on climate change. For those who haven't some across him before, his most recent work is a trilogy [2] on the effects of global warming: Forty Signs of Rain (2004), Fifty Degrees Below (2005), and Sixty Days and Counting (2007). An earlier book (possibly his best) has been discussed here before [3]. Udhay [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Stanley_Robinson [2] http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2005/sep/14/sciencefictionfantasyandhorror.sarahcrown [3] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/silk-list/message/11146 http://whatmatters.mckinseydigital.com/climate_change/time-to-end-the-multigenerational-ponzi-scheme Time to end the multigenerational Ponzi scheme By Kim Stanley Robinson 22 February 2009 Great post. Thanks Udhay. The parallel between feudalism and capitalism is very interesting and also true to some extent. Will also be looking for his books, especially his first. Kiran
