The Glass Bead Game
Mind at Light Speed: A New Kind of Intelligence
(2001)
Abstract
Our lives are filled with images. Everyday we see signals, read signs, and learn symbols.
We find our way with maps, look for news and bargains in newspapers, calculate our
bills and taxes. We turn printed music into wonderful sounds, often without conscious
effort. Icons fill our churches, synagogues and mosques, dot our computer screens, and
are sprawled on billboards, on clothing and advertisement pages. Architecture and art
conspire to fill our views with meaningful shapes and form. Pictures capture an instant in
time, while movies and video entertain us with visual motion. We live in a visual world,
full of information transmitted by light.
