“E3i: Ethics, Ecology, Evolution, and Intelligence” was inspired in part by Walter Truett Anderson's 1987 book, To Govern Evolution: Further Adventures of the Political Animal, and accepted by Howard Rheingold, whose 1986 book, Tools for Thought: The History and Future of Mind-Expanding Technology, was my first exposure to “intelligence” outside the secret bunker–my first realization that the secret world was isolated from a larger reality.
