is finding new ways to continually expand creativity by melding art, science,
mathematics and other seemingly-disparate areas of human endeavor. I seek

"Pickover contemplates realms beyond our known reality." -- The New York Times
"Dr.
Pickover has published nearly a book a year in which he stretches the limits
of computers, art, and thought."
"Bucky Fuller thought big, Arthur C. Clarke thinks big, but Cliff Pickover outdoes them both." -- WIRED "Pickover inspires a new generation of da Vincis to build unknown flying machines and create new Mona Lisas." -- Christian Science Monitor |
"Add two doses of Isaac Asimov, and one dose each of Martin
Gardner and Carl Sagan, and you get Clifford Pickover, one of the most
entertaining and thought provoking writers of our time.
-- Michael Shermer, Editor-in-Chief of Skeptic magazine |
