H. Keith Henson
H. Keith Henson attended the University
of Arizona. One of his primary interests was the colonization of space,
an avocation that led him to the founding of the L5
Society for which he served as its first president. His participation
in the Cryonics movement
and early Extropian discussions contributed
to those efforts. The papers below demonstrate pioneering contributions
to MegaScale Engineering
and mimetic thinking. He is perhaps most known for his invention
of the "Far Edge Party" to be held on the opposite side of the galaxy by
all those posthumans who have survived the singularity.
Due to Keith's efforts to bring the practices of the "Church" of Scientology
into the light of day he is currently being harrassed by that organization.
