Youra & Mandeville

In 1974, Michael Wells Mandeville wrote The Cybernetic Renaissance , which was published in a U.S. Bicentennial Commission Celebration publication. The essay developed the theme of “The Global Village” which Arthur C. Clarke had made famous for his discussion of how communication and computer technology was going to fundamentally change human civilization, bring all people into close proximity with electrons, and enable a liberated human imagination to recreate the world. 

During the previous 18 years, Mandeville had focused on the development of a systems approach to understanding human interaction with solar and planetary dynamics, as these relationships shape the terrestrial environment and the history of humanity. He has used his long-running blog Earth Changes Bulletin to share many of his conclusions.

In 1986, Mandeville updated the essay to predict how the PC industry would develop. He predicted companies like Microsoft would flourish if they focused on integrating compatibility of their technology with the high technology products of other companies. Bill Gates read the essay and subsequently all his decisions with converting DOS into Windows was based on providing compatibility between all platforms. A huge rush by thousands of companies subsequently created the phenomenal developments of Silicon Valley and the Seattle Metroplex. 

In 2004, authored and published in English  The Coming Economic Collapse of 2006 from copy developed in the Earth Changes Bulletin. This book extrapolates economic trends predicated by Edgar Cayce for the period 2006-2008, critiques the fatal transformation of the U.S. Republic into an overt Empire, and compares the current economic and political climate with the period of the 1930's. The book was subsequently published in Italian during 2004 by Marco Edzioni.
