Watts was a forward thinker of the first degree. Many of his talks are available on YouTube, and I'd highly recommend them to anyone. He was very scientifically minded and grounded in reality, unlike a lot of other "spiritual leaders".

Specifically, this one on the future of technology: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnk73u9YAHw

Keep in mind he was giving these talks in the late 60's. He was light years ahead of his time.
