Multis and Monos; What the Multicultured Can Teach the Monocultured Towards the Creation of a Global State - Softcover
Synopsis
Dr. de Garis' main thrust in his book is to advocate the creation of one global state (Globa). To do this, he strongly advocates that the world's citizens need to be more "Multi" persons; living, working, and touristing in other countries. Mono-cultured persons are largely ignorant of what other countries have to better offer their own country. Dr. de Garis cites early thinkers such as Erasmus, Russel, Wells, et al, who have pointed out the advantages of creating a one world state. He also points out how today's world is moving in that direction: the UN, the World Court in the Hague the 27 State European Union, with it's common currency, NAFTA, SEATO, etc., and with English already used as the world's most common international language.
This controversial book is bound to cause passionate discourse, a rarity in most political and futuristic books that one comes across lately.

About the Author
Prof. Dr. Hugo de Garis, an Australian by birth, is a full professor of Computer Science in the Cognitive Science Department of the School of Information Science and Technology (SIST) at Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian Province, China, where his research specialties are "Artificial Brains" and Topological Quantum Computing (TQC). He is the Director of the "Artificial Brain Lab (ABL)" which aims to build China's first artificial brain that will consist of tens of thousands of evolved neural net modules, each with its own little job. He teaches graduate students topics in Pure Mathematics, Theoretical Physics and Computer Science so that they can understand the principles of Topological Quantum Computing (TQC), which promises to revolutionize computer science. Prior to his professorial jobs in China, he was an associate professor in Computer Science at Utah State University, and worked eight years in Japan on an "Artificial Brain."
Prof. de Garis has lived and worked in seven countries: Australia, England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, America, and China, which makes him a real "multi" (to use his terminology) allowing him to have the insights that are so fundamental to this book.
