Life is a sequence - and we go from one event to another. I am fascinated by the patterns developed by that sequence, the what if? moments that occur once those patterns are recognized. The illustrations for this book are of individuals who represent the points on a line of events in scientific discovery. In some cases they are tangential, and in some cases sequential. The patterns address the problem of how we got to where we are in regards to the current use (and abuse) of technology in our lives. Patterns will always amaze me, but they do propose a larger force at work. One day we will all find out what that force is and what the plan was that they had in mind. And I do firmly believe there was or is a plan because as Einstein also supposedly said I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice.
