It was great fun. But, I’ve been out of LA for so long now, that I am out of the loop. I’m wonder if you all have some ideas on who to contact. I’m also wondering if there are enough transhumanists at UCLA or USC to put something together. I did email Peter Voss and Louise, and also the Futurist Salon, but I was told no one is doing book events any more. Kifuni is always a great place to link up, but books and food don’t really mix well. Amy Li, on the board of Humanity+, was in LA, but she is now in SV. I’m drawing a blank.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So --- if anyone has and ideas on how to get something happening to promote the book at a bookstore or university in LA area, please let me know!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Natasha<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="http://www.natasha.cc/"><span style='color:windowtext'>Natasha Vita-More, PhD</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>NEW</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Book: Co-Editor:<i> </i></span><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The Transhumanist Reader: Contemporary and Classical Essays on the<br>Science, Technology, and Philosophy of the Human Future (Wiley-Blackwell Pub.) <b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Transhumanist-Reader-Contemporary-Technology-Philosophy/dp/1118334310/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1363616965&sr=1-1&keywords=the+transhumanist+reader"><span style='color:windowtext'>Available at Amazon!</span></a></b></span></i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><img border=0 width=66 height=96 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01CE3CE1.4E9BBAE0" alt="Final Cover Design_email"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Adjunct Professor, University of Advancing Technology<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Chairman, <a href="http://www.humanityplus.org/"><span style='color:black'>Humanity+</span></a><br><br><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
