    <p>I wasn't able to download from Academia without signing up for a
      paid subscription...   but they seem to let me read papers
      inline/html... I hope you can as well, I'm guessing that is how
      Glen read it, maybe others?   <br>
    </p>
    <p>I feel like a cheapskate not wanting to pay the paywall, but it
      feels like there are *so many* to choose from...  a  little too
      much like streaming movie subscriptions?   Once it was just
      Netflix, then Hulu, then Amazon Prime, then HBO, Showtime, Roku,
      AppleTV, etc. ad infinitum...  <br>
    </p>
    <p>As mentioned earlier, I'm finding Academia's recommender to be
      pretty good, and the free-read-inline means I actually read (or at
      least skim) a lot of what they recommend...   Maybe they deserve
      my $149/year?</p>
    <p>It looks like this was Raoul's Dissertation and it looks like he
      is still at Heidelberg U. where he matriculated....  I may
      penetrate *their* arcane website to find it from the direct
      source...   <br>

          I could rattle on for pages about my take on this, but the
          short version <br>
          is that I found this *very* readable and helped me appreciate
          the role <br>
          of postmodernism and it's relationship to posthumanism cast in
          the <br>
          backdrop of a century (and a half) of scientifiction/romance <br>
          writing/speculating.<br>
          <br>
          Oh yeh, and also with the backdrop of the impending
          extinction-by-excess <br>
          arc humans are on as we argue over when to *start* the
          Anthropocene when <br>
          it is likely it is also about to *end* in the shortest-lived
          geological <br>
          epoch of all time?!<br>
