Gregg:

I know John Horgan quite well.  He is a pretty standard "hippie" who  
keeps reaching for hallucinogens &c as-if this was still the 1960s.   
Creative writing and all that.

Alas, that was the old paradigm.  He has no interest in the *new* one  
(so I will not be commenting) . . . <g>

I have started reading it
