	Here is a tentative list of the chapters of the book and their
tentative contents.  Much of the material will be taken from the essays
and rearranged.  There is considerable redundancy in the present
collection, because some of the essays were written as articles
and had to introduce themselves.  Some are incomplete and there are
inconsistencies.

\chapter{1}{Technology and the Enhancement of Man}

\section{1.1}{Introduction}

In which it is affirmed that the main problem is to
give humans new possibilities.

\section{1.2}{Survival}  

However, before we can improve, we must survive.  In this
chapter, the doomsayers are refuted, although a few problems that have
to be solved are noted.  Energy, food, minerals, war.

\section{1.3}{Productivity and Prosperity}  

We need more of what we have now, and
we need to free resources to work on new things.  Ways of raising
productivity in manufacturing, distribution, construction, bureaucracy,
mining, and education are discusssed.

\section{1.4}{Improvements}  

This is the main part of the book.  Transportation (computer
operated cars and planes and automatic delivery).  Computer aided design and
manufacturing to allow one of a kind.  To allow one person to build a ten
story building.  The home terminal. Communication. Amusements. Space travel.
Safety (rationality therein).  The liberation of women.

\section{1.5}{Political, Social and Economic Issues}  

Experimental societies.  Why
economics can't be left to the economists.  Moralism.  The limits of equality.
U.S. and the underdeveloped world.  The conflicts in the world today.
What is fair?

\section{1.6}{Polemics}  

The rest of the book is almost entirely an exposition of
my views and my reasons for holding them.  In this section, my respects
are paid to those who think differently.

\section{1.7}{Disconnected Remarks on Various Topics}  

The very long range future.
Artificial intelligence.  Human happiness.
