Hi all
I interviewed Rudy for Digimag a few years ago, also talking about Post-Singular (http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=1204).
Generally speaking, I think that Rudy's approach often includes amazing ideas related to open and p2p (i.e. the idea of a global network made by nano-particles that interfere directly with the brain); his main core, anyway, is always an extremely psichedelic approach to life and spirituality.
So, nothing particularly strong from the scientific or philosophical point of view, but a lot of great insights and visions.
Ciao

This is the first I've heard of them. Sounds like a bit of a stretch
to me, based on the desc-ription at Amazon. Seems to be focused mostly

on the psychological/spiritual end of things.
