Chico and Groucho, Duck Soup 3 IIlummatt papers Introduction to the 1997 Edition Future events like these will effect you in the future! Plan 9 From Outer Space Does zoology include humans? Mamie his book dates from a barbaric, almost pre-historic age- -over twenty years ago. You will realize how far back in the abyss of time that near-Feudal epoch looks in retrospect when I tell you that I wrote the entire manuscript on a typewriter.

6 Of course, we had electric lights instead of candles, and the "horseless carriage" had come into general use, but otherwise the so-called advanced nations remained in a primitive industrial economy and few could foresee the Information Age dawning. Those Eolithic days seem hard to recall now. Nobody but the military and a few universities had access to Internet or the World Wide Web; if I wanted to do research, I had to leave the "typewriter" a device only a little less archaic than the quill pen and drive to a library where I'd spend a day taking notes with a pen on a pad.

7 No humans lived in space yet; the Mir space station did not begin construction until 1986, eight years after The Illuminati Papers appeared. Most of what I wrote then seemed as fabulous as Oz or Wonderland to the majority of readers; now, I fear some readers will find parts of this hackneyed except in the Manhattan Literary Establishment, where these ideas are still considered wild and crazy. (Those New Yorkers still seem to think the latest radical notions are those of Freud and Marx.)

8 Even the first long (or longish) chapter in this book, "The Abolition of Stupidity," dealing with intelligence-raising technologies, seemed like fantasy or satire to most 1970s readers. By comparison, if you hunt around the World Wide Web today, you will find over 1000 entries, dealing with DHEA, "Blast," Hydergine and dozens of other brain-boosting substances. Since I can safely T 3llluminati JJapcrs assume most of my readers have Web access by now, let me suggest that you find out how this field has developed by clicking on smart drugs in the Extropian web site at ~arkuat/extr/.

9 Back in the '70s, most critics did not know what the hell to make out of these pages and generally classified the whole book as science fiction in disguise. Fortunately, readers as a group do not have the rear-view vision that seems required of posh reviewers, and many of them understood me very well. Every year now, and in fact many times a year, I meet people who tell me their choice of career resulted from reading my science faction. (Most of these people went into space engineering, psychopharmacology, life extension research or quantum physics.)

10 Looking back, I feel a sense of humble astonishment. I seem to have written a 1990s book in the 1970s. Only in the matter of computer networking do I appear to have missed the boat: I knew major changes would come, but I did not know enough about that field to know how rapidly or how totally the cyber-rev-olution would shake, quake and remake our society. Otherwise, my forecasts of the coming waves of change in space migration, longevity, and automation seem good enough to tempt me to set up shop as a fortune teller.
