“If Mayors Ruled the World”

Tuesday June 5, 02012 at the Cowell Theater, San Francisco

As the world congeals towards a single, globally interdependent economic and political system, being engaged as an individual can feel less and less meaningful.

Quotes by Stewart Brand

“A library doesn't need windows. A library is a window.”
― Stewart Brand

Human nature doesn't change much; science does, and the change accrues, altering the world irreversibly”
