Long a hero of mine, this man has had a major influence on my life & thinking. Even if you've never heard of him, yours too. A modern visionary.

Heres a fine article about him:

I hadn't heard of him until last summer when I read his book "Whole Earth Discipline". Next I read "The Electric Koolaid Acid Test" and sure enough, there he was again, although this time tripping on LSD. After that I began seeing his name quite often. I didn't realize he was the president of The Long Now Foundation. His name also comes up a lot in Kevin Kelly's "What Technology Wants".
