Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Edge Foundation, Inc. is an organization of science and technology intellectuals created in 1988 as an outgrowth of The Reality Club. Its motto is 'To arrive at the edge of the world's knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together and have them ask each other the questions they are asking themselves.' Currently, its main activity is maintaining the Edge.org website, where it produces a free web publication edited by publisher and businessman John Brockman.The Third Culture is a term used to describe the growing movement towards (re)integration of literary and scientific thinking and is a nod toward British scientist C. P. Snow's concept of The Two Cultures of science and the humanities
