Computer Utopias

I sincerely wish there had been a class like this when I was in school. The reading list here has some really fascinating stuff in it, several of which I'd never seen before, many of which are things that have inspired Eve. It's really exciting to see more people starting to dig into alternative ways of thinking about computation. More generally, it'd be nice to see more classes that encourage thinking about all the coloring we could do outside of the lines.

Chris is a personal friend and really on the verge of something amazing. We talked about this very class in May and he's really pushing the boundaries on things - the collection here is a good start for someone to start to really think differently.

Looks really awesome, I echo ibdknox's sentiments - I'm a bit suprised not to see Pandora's Vox (http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=2299) by Humdog (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Hermosillo) on the reading list - I reckon you'd find it very interesting.

Brings to mind Bret Victor's screed on the touch interface. Brilliant. Will be relevant for a long time to come, sadly. http://worrydream.com/#!/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionD...

This is an interesting link collection, but it's framed in the worst kind of academic prose. I wish the author had the intellectual courage to write more plainly.

I could have done with a little less distraction in the presentation but the article collection is interesting.

this guys website is awesome, his course looks awesome, and his projects & mission are admirable. consider me mancrushing.
