If anyone goes, ask TS what he thinks of Max and his Genius 2000, for funny.

>"Tom Sherman integrates a deeply critical perspective on modern life with
>an understanding and sense of hopefulness that denies cynicism [and]
>defies ideological categorization. Read Sherman slowly and re-read. You
>will find his to be one of the most original and powerful voices of a
>generation."
> - David A. Ross
>
>There was a time, not too long ago, when people wrote letters (and mailed
>them), picked up the phone and spoke to people (not voice mail systems),
>and considered whether to invest in expensive new "fax" technology as a
>means of speeding up communication. Children went outside to play games
>that didn't require a console and screen, schools bought books, and
>computers filled entire floors of some offices. In less than twenty years,
>our homes, schools, cars, workplaces, and leisure activities have been
>transformed by the onslaught of technology.
>
>Tom Sherman got wired early and has spent much of his career leading the
>way through the aftershocks of the "I-Bomb" and its information explosion.
>_Before and After the I-Bomb_ collects over fifty of Sherman's texts about
>art, technology, and nature from the last three decades. His series of
>personal reflections express both a love for and struggle with the new
>technologies and the cultural changes they have spawned. Most importantly,
>they provide an instrument for gauging the evolution of a human culture
>inextricably bound to Earth's ecosystem, and a tool for negotiating the
>future, even if [as Sherman writes] it is currently "obscured by a dense
>cloud of scrambled technobabble."
>
>Tom Sherman is a media artist, writer, and broadcaster. He knows the media
>environment from several perspectives, having worked in mainstream radio
>and television, but also having produced groundbreaking art with video
>gear, industrial robots, surveillance systems, and telecommunications
>networks. He founded the Media Arts Section of the Canada Council for the
>Arts, co-founded Fuse magazine, and represented Canada at the Venice
>Biennale. Sherman performs and records with Bernhard Loibner in the group
>Nerve Theory. His work integrates video, music, and performance, and often
>features improvised narratives. Tom Sherman also teaches media art
>history, theory, and practice at Syracuse University.
>
>_Before and After the I-Bomb: An Artist in the Information Environment_
>is published by Banff Centre Press, 384 pages, paperback,
