	Freeman Dyson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Freeman John Dyson (born December 15, 1923) is an English-born American physicist and mathematician, famous for his work in quantum mechanics, nuclear weapons design and policy, and for his serious theorizing in futurism and science fiction concepts, including the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
		Dyson was a long time member of the JASON defense advisory group.
		Dyson conceived that such structures would be clouds of asteroid-sized space habitats, though science fiction writers have preferred a solid structure: either way, such an artifact is often referred to as a Dyson sphere, although Dyson himself used the term "shell".

	Media Visions - Visionary \| Esther Dyson
		Raised amid the Dyson family network of scientists and thinkers, since the Seventies, Esther Dyson has been on her own connecting people and ideas in original ways.
		Dyson: To the extent that kids should be taught to think skeptically about everything, I think interactive media are definitely one of the main things for them to think skeptically about.
		Dyson: I want to stress the importance of going beyond the V-chip and having a rating system that is more decentralized, that has different raters and different criteria so that it's not "One size fits all." The V-chip is better than censorship, but it's pretty close because the ratings are centrally controlled.

	Wired 1.05: Release
		In June 1990, for example, Esther devoted an issue of Release 1.0 to the concept of the HandyWidget, her term for the handheld all-purpose personal data assistants (PDAs) that are just now hitting the market.
		What Esther gets interested in will matter in the industry; she has a kind of distant early warning system that 1,500 of the most influential people in the computer industry (aka, her subscribers) look to when they design new products, create new markets, and try to change the world.
		Esther has been driven to her meetings all day, because, among her many contradictions, Esther the transnational doesn't drive.

		Unique Esther is, living without a telephone at home, refusing to drive a car, spending much of her life in transit, on airplanes, in hotels, and in swimming pools, carrying around her world in canvas tote bags.
		During the '80s I attended a number of conferences where Esther could be seen before sunrise in the pool, swimming back and forth, back and forth, hour after hour, still a daily regimen.
		ESTHER DYSON is president of EDventure Holdings and editor of Release 1.0.

	Online NewsHour: A Dialogue with Esther Dyson--November 4, 1997
		ESTHER DYSON, Author, "Release 2.0:" Well, the Internet means a lot of different things to many different people.
		ESTHER DYSON: I don’t really think so because business is about efficiency, of economies of scale, and those economies are going away.
		ESTHER DYSON: Well, if I’ve been on the net the day before, then it’s more, because I’m answering the answers, but somewhere between fifty and a hundred would be typical.

	Chapter 11, Esther Dyson Chapter 11
		Dyson begins the chapter by stating that it is now time for the reader to "reflect and act on" the issues she presents in the book from within the context of the readers own life.
		Dyson then states what I consider to be a possible thesis for her work, that is laying out "some of the landscape (on the internet) in a way that makes this new world more intelligible and its structure visible." (p.277)
		Dyson describes her book as a "prescription" of..."what you can do [on the net]." (279) "The net is a tool for some purpose" Dyson states, and using the net we now have a potential to influence the communities within which we operate for the good.

	Esther Dyson on the Internet, ICANN and Doing Business Abroad - Knowledge@Wharton
		According to Dyson, ICANN’s original mandate, mainly a technical one, was carried out by Jonathan B. Postel, one of the founders of the Arpanet, the precursor of the Internet, and a professor at the University of Southern California.
		Although Dyson applauds the theory behind ICANN, she said the organization is bogged down in politics.
		That said, according to Dyson, it is still easier to do business in Eastern Europe than in Africa, where she is involved in fostering development through the use of IT, but on a not-for-profit basis now.

	Communication World: The civilization of cyberspace - interview with cyberspace specialist Esther Dyson - Interview
		Dyson raises some of the thorniest problems swirling around cyberspace in her 1997 book, "Release 2.0 - A Design for Living in the Digital Age." On issues such as electronic privacy, security, anonymity, pornography, governance and intellectual property, Dyson offers - not simple solutions - but preferable paths.
		As a youngster, Esther remembers seeing Nobel laureates at dinner parties in her parent's home in Princeton, N.J. So it was almost natural for her to head off to Harvard at age 16, where she majored in economics.
		Dyson's probing, off-center columns on important ideas and people in the about-to-explode computer industry made it a must-read by the captains of such little (at the time) U.S. West Coast startups as Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, Silicon Graphics and Intel.

		Dyson has advised the Clinton administration directly through the National Information Infrastructure Advisory Council and Gingrichite Republicans indirectly through the Progress and Freedom Foundation's various activities.
		I think a creator has the right to control the disposition of his or her works--I actually believe that the financial issue is less important than the integrity of the work, the attribution, that kind of stuff.

	BOOK REVIEW: ESTHER DYSON'S UNCONVINCING TECHNO-UTOPIA
		Though Dyson's agenda for negotiating this new world sounds compelling, she neglects to provide a blueprint -- or many details, for that matter -- for how humankind will arrive at the electronic Utopia she foresees ahead.
		For Dyson, the essence of the Net is simple but far-reaching: "Its impact -- the widespread availability of two-way electronic communication -- will change our lives." Unfettered communication, she feels, will allow the Net to become a Great Equalizer, altering the power relationships that govern today's non-Internet-based world.
		Even Dyson knows, down deep, that life in the electronic age will be a lot more complicated than that.

		The wisdom of Dyson's view is that, while the digital age will be vastly different from the one we know, it will be governed by the same forces that have always shaped social organizations.
		In this book Dyson presents us with her view of how society will be changed by the power of computers, the internet and the ubiquitous information they offer.
		These criticisms aside, Dyson is at her best when discussing issues of privacy, intellectual property, anonymity, encryption, communication and advertising and how these will be changed and challenged by wide-spread internet access.

		Dyson referred to this approach as "privatizing regulation" -- and stressed that it heads off government intervention into Net business and privacy issues.
