  Gilder's Cyberspace
Gilder traces the microcosm to the invention of the transistor by William Shockley of the ATandT Bell Laboratories, and the quantum physics that led to Shockley's invention.
Gilder tells us that the microcosm will not have it "big bang" until it is married with the telecosm, which will give us the bandwidth the accommodate the immense computing power that will move to the edges of the networks.
Gilder calls this world of free bandwidth the fibersphere, and to understand it you have to realize that he is talking about something that is very different from what we read about in the press in articles about the networks being planned by the telephone and cable TV industries.

 Amazon.com: Microcosm: Books: George Gilder   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Gilder connects his fascination with the computer as a savior of the conservative ethic with his mystical economic theories (as in his Wealth and Poverty, LJ 3/1/81) in this densely written account of the "microcosm" of computer technology, where innovations are occurring in the design of smaller and smaller computer chips.
This is Gilder's old ideological tract, gussied up in silicon, with scalding indictments of anything that isn't "entrepreneurial," i.e., unregulated, and of the old thinking that caused all the problems in the first place.
Gilder, in his description of the "quantum paradox," is at his best, treading confidently in highly technical areas, but keeping the story concise and interesting.

 Amazon.com: Men and Marriage: Books: George Gilder   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Gilder feels that one of modern society's key problems is its denials of the differences between the sexes and, as a logical corollary, its denial of appropriate roles.
A theme that Gilder resounds with great force is the degree to which a healthy society is in fact dependent on the health of its families.
While the first six chapters of the Gilder's tome, which focus on sexual roles, are easily worth price of the book; its remainder is a tour de force on the relationship of modern sexual thought and the ghetto, welfare, homosexuality, the workplace, education, politics, and biogenetic engineering.

 The ID Report - Why is tech guru George Gilder not a Darwinist?: Part One: "Information does not bubble up from random ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Gilder first sensed that something was wrong with Darwinism in the late Sixties when books that analyzed human life purely in terms of animal behavior - The Naked Ape and The Human Zoo, et cetera, were all the rage.
Gilder was writing a critique of the sexual liberation philosophy that took hold at that time (Sexual Suicide, later revised and republished as Men and Marriage).
Gilder, to his credit, recognized that the problem lay with the tautological principle behind Darwinism: Whatever survives is the most fit.

 Pharyngula::Gilder: still wailing over his spanking   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Yet even Gilder, seemingly a lightning rod for the socioeconomic controversy of the moment, was blistered by the comments posted on a University of Minnesota biologist's weblog last fall, language so heated Gilder's daughter felt obliged to rush to his defense.
In conversation, Gilder is something of a rhetorical hummingbird, darting from topic to topic so rapidly it's difficult to get a word (much less a question) in edgewise.
Though a conservative Christian by upbringing and temperament, Gilder insists his belief in ID is not a faith-based proposition.

 TheStreet.com: Gilder Effect Pushes Exodus, Cypress 14% Higher
The stock rose as much as 19% in morning trading after pontificator George Gilder issued his monthly Gilder Technology Report newsletter, which discussed Exodus favorably and added the company to Gilder's "Telecosm Table." That's a list of what the futurist calls "ascendant technologies" and the companies that Gilder thinks are leaders in the area.
Gilder insists he isn't trying to be a stock-picker with his newsletter -- in fact, the table contains a disclaimer stating the Telecosm Table isn't a model portfolio, and that companies appear on the list "only for their technology leadership, without consideration of their current share price or the appropriate timing of an investment decision."
Yet not everyone in Gilder's camp is on the same page; the online subscription form for his report, which is co-published by Forbes Magazine, exhorts would-be subscribers to the $295-per-year newletter, "Profit from the biggest investment opportunity of all time.

 The Panda's Thumb: Gilder: "Intelligent design itself does not have any content"
The article is called, “The evolution of George Gilder.” Anyway, the piece mostly just lets Gilder spout unchallenged about how evolution can’t explain genetic “information”, although it does start off OK by mentioning Pharyngula’s 2004 fisking of a Gilder essay in Wired.
For some reason, though, the reporter couldn’t bring himself to make one tiny little phone call to a biologist (I’m sure PZ Myers was ready and willing) to learn how evolution actually can produce new genes with new functions (handy free pdf).
Gilder is saying something that is the equivalent of saying “scientists don’t know how volcanos form.” Saying that the origin of new genetic information requires divine intervention is just wrong, anyone who believes it is badly uninformed, and anyone who promotes the idea to the innocent public is a deluded pseudoscientist.
