npq’s fall 2004 issue is called the scientific imagination. it’s chock full of interesting reading. from questions like “will the future need us?” to genomics, to the koran and cloning, to stephen hawkings grumbles about the basic flaws of our science-fictional vision of the future. looking into npq’s archive offers endless pieces of interest like the father of chaos theory’s take on creativity in art and nature. good reading if you’ve got the time.
