As a nerd and a budding transhumanist, I always find the stuff on TED fascinating to watch. These people are talking about the future, sometimes in very immediate ways, and watching these guys I can't help but feel a little better about the world when I close the browser.
Today, we have Rachel Armstrong, who would like us to know that she may have found a new way to design buildings. It's an interesting idea in and of itself...but just wait 'til you get to the part about Venice.
And if that wasn't enough, or if you're looking for something in the realm of arts and sciences, might I recommend an artist drawing cities from memory?

Fascinating and heartening. Rachel Armstrong's talk, like many of TED's presentations, makes me hopeful. With reservation, of course. Long way to go on proving the safe applications - safe for the existing natural world, I mean. But, wow! Are there possibilities for application in speculative fiction, eh?
