Subject: (associates) list now functional and movies w/nanotech themes/issues
Date: 26 May 1999 15:21:35 -0600
OK we had a minor bug in the configuration, but things appear to be
working properly now. Eric will announce this list in the next letter
to senior associates, so expect some more people to sign up soon.
My intent on creating this list was to create a forum where senior
associates could discuss nanotechnology without having to constantly
explain the basics or even defend the premise. What I noticed on
sci.nanotech was that much of the discussion centered around "newbie"
material that presumably us senior associates don't need explained to
us :-).
So far there are only 4-5 of us on this list, but I expect many more
people to join after Eric's announcement. Chris Peterson tells me
that there are over 400 senior associates now. I feel like an early
adopter! :-) My senior associate form has me as #47 or something like
that.
To start a little conversation, after the group genius weekend I was
thinking it would be handy to develop on a web page a list of films
that contain issues that are associated with, or are influenced by,
nanotech.
For instance, the film "Zardoz" <http://us.imdb.com/Title?0070948>
contains the following themes: life extension/immortality,
transhumanaphobia (fear of being trans-human), human augmentation,
machine intelligence, and probably a few other nanotech-related
issues.
I imagine that most movies that explore nanotech-related themes will
be sci-fi, but others could easily explore issues that will be touched
upon by nanotech without being sci-fi. Can you think of others?

There's already a list somewhere on the web that fits the bill. It
includes books, too. I can't recall the URL offhand, though.
