Description:
In 1969, Princeton physicist Gerard O'Neill began looking outward to space colonies as the new frontier for humanity's expansion. A decade later, Eric Drexler, an MIT-trained engineer, turned his attention to the molecular world as the place where society's future needs could be met using self-replicating nanoscale machines. These modern utopians predicted that their technologies could transform society as humans mastered the ability to create new worlds, undertook atomic-scale engineering, and, if truly successful, overcame their own biological limits. The Visioneers tells the story of how these scientists and the communities they fostered imagined, designed, and popularized speculative technologies such as space colonies and nanotechnologies. Patrick McCray traces how these visioneers blended countercultural ideals with hard science, entrepreneurship, libertarianism, and unbridled optimism about the future. He shows how they built networks that communicated their ideas to writers, politicians, and corporate leaders. But the visioneers were not immune to failure--or to the lures of profit, celebrity, and hype.
O'Neill and Drexler faced difficulty funding their work and overcoming colleagues' skepticism, and saw their ideas co-opted and transformed by Timothy Leary, the scriptwriters of Star Trek, and many others. Ultimately, both men struggled to overcome stigma and ostracism as they tried to unshackle their visioneering from pejorative labels like "fringe" and "pseudoscience." The Visioneers provides a balanced look at the successes and pitfalls they encountered. The book exposes the dangers of promotion--oversimplification, misuse

Nice look, nice price, but not durable
Size: 12, Color: 8/Black
I really like the way the shoes looked, and the price was good. Unfortunately, the seam first busted after only about 5 months. It has been about 10 months now, and the seam is busting all the way around the shoe.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Size: 10.5, Color: 8/Brown
I’ve been wearing these Bruno Marc Men’s Casual Dress Shoes for a while now, and they have exceeded my expectations! The quality and craftsmanship are impressive for the price, and they look just as stylish as high-end brands.
One of the best things about these shoes is their comfort—even after long hours on my feet, they still feel great. The cushioned insole provides solid support, and the fit is just right. Whether I’m at work, attending an event, or just out and about, these shoes hold up beautifully.
Durability is another plus. The materials feel sturdy, and the stitching is well done. I also love the versatility—they pair well with dress pants, chinos, or even jeans.
Overall, these shoes are a fantastic value. If you’re looking for a stylish, comfortable, and affordable pair of dress shoes, I highly recommend them!

Comfortable and complimentary
Size: 11, Color: Brown
The shoes are very comfortable and easily broke in after two wears. I get several compliments on them daily, and others have purchased them after seeing mine. I also have the black pair, but the brown ones are my favorite. Sizing is true to size, an excellent value for your money, and they are lightweight and breathable. The soles are thick, which makes them extremely comfortable.

Comfy and non slip! Amazing!
Size: 9.5, Color: All Black
I work 12hrs sometimes on my feet. These shoes are amazing !!! Broke them in on a 10hr shift and they feel like walking on pillows. My feet were comfy and not throbbing. I felt the difference in the non slip in the kitchen and I’ll say it outright……. Worth the $40! I got the brown coming and I’m assuming they’ll be just as comfortable. Bruno Marc’s are great!
