WUaS Idea- and Academic Resources

Ideas

A book by Douglas Hofstadter, described by the author as "a metaphorical fugue on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Carroll."

I'd (Scott) like to invite Douglas Hofstadter into a virtual world to give a talk and facilitate a discussion of Goedel, Escher, Bach, perhaps as an inaugural event.

Publish my article in a WUaS academic journal in this subject
