#6I've had this book on my reading list for a while! Out of Control is referenced heavily in Fred Turner's From Counterculture to Cyberculture.

I think I'm gonna binge on his stuff. He seems like a really cool dude. I recall his optimism getting a lot of flak in the late 2010s but he seems to really care and celebrate think deeply about our culture. That techno-optimism garbage was deeply embarrassing and fascist but I think I can get behind Kelly's brand of optimism. Check out "the third culture" article that I just submitted. So much of the stuff he says in passing in that article is still verrrrry relevant today.
