Dear xxxx
With the end of summer, I am getting to work on the proposed volume in which I am inviting a
stellar group of thinkers to help Norbert Wiener update his 1950 book THE HUMAN USE OF
HUMAN BEINGS for the year 2016. (Tentative book title: "What Was A Human - A Meta-
Book").
Date: 3pm Friday Afternoon, September 10th through dinner Saturday evening, September 11th
Place: Eastover Farm
The intent here is create a coherent and useful book that presents a variety of ideas and
perspective without overlap and duplication. To do this (1) I would like each of you to send a
paragraph (a very informal "abstract") on what you want to write about; and (b) I want to kick
things off with a discussion of what the book should cover. For this I need help. So am hosting a
gathering at Eastover Farm in 90 miles from NYC; 150 miles from Cambridge)
on Friday-Saturday September 10th & I 1th. If you can make it's important to first re-read
Wiener's book and have an idea for your topic that we can put on the table for discussion. Other
than the abstract, no papers or formal presentations. I will pick up hotel and transportation
expenses.
