Design:
Putting Mind into Matter -
Making it intelligent & intelligible
Mind into Matter is an eclectic collection of excerpts from my various lectures, articles, papers on design, technology & society, over the years.
Some of these were answers and responses to the questions posed to me directly or by implication.
It is not a continuous narrative but hopefully encourages the reader to start from any page, and go back and forward, as one wishes to peruse.
As a tribute to the modern 'impatient' & 'impetuous' society, on the go, in a hurry, the pages are kept short & pithy, bold and direct, which is the characteristics of todays young society. I hope these writings do interest the young minds, and force thinking and reflection.
