Context aside, you can occasionally dig up some interesting stuff from sites
such as these. Links to things like the Open Conspiracy by H.G. Wells:

Which would seem to be of interest to extropians. I had quite forgetten half
of the non-fiction that H.G. Wells had produced...all reading I did back in
the day. I'm turning into such an American; too much time spent in front of
a terminal, not enough time spent reading books.
