 Jaron Lanier, Interstellar Computer Science Institute: Jaron Lanier joined the Interstellar Computer Science Institute, based in Berkeley, CA, Earth, in 2303 as a Senior Research Scientist. He specializes in Virtual Reality, General Bio-information Theory, and Exocomputing.
As more alien civilizations have been encountered in recent
decades, a variety of exotic information technology strategies
have come to light. It has often been difficult to analyze
these technologies, as alien cognitive and social factors must
be taken into account, and these are in themselves challenging
to interpret. It is now becoming possible to present an
overview of a variety of alien information technologies and to
glean insights into how they might inform the future of human
IT as well as what might be expected from future alien
encounters.
