The author (Edmund Berkeley) is the co-founder of the ACM (I’m a member), he definitely did some other good stuff like being a peace activist and coming up with concepts that highly influenced the personal computer revolution 25–30 years after the book was published.
But the extreme toxic positivity about computers that “will solve all social problems” because “humans are so irrational” remains a huge problem with AI stans since the late 1940s.

#HappyBirthday to Elliot Page, born February 21, 1987, in Halifax Nova Scotia. Page is a Canadian actor, producer, and activist, known for his leading roles across Canadian and American film and television, and for his outspoken work as an activist for #LGBTQ rights and against discrimination. His accolades include nominations for an Academy Award, three BAFTA Awards, two Primetime Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and a SAG Award. While most of his career was performed as Ellen Page, he came out as gay in 2014 and as transgender in 2020.
Next time we try to summon the courage to defend or joyfully acknowledge a LGBTQ friend or relative, we should recognize the struggle that most experience just to find a little bit of happiness. Everyone deserves to love and be loved.
