As Beat poet Michael McClure (one of my favorite writers) noted: "Much of what the Beat Generation is about is nature---the landscape of nature in the case of Gary Snyder, the mind as nature in the case of Allen Ginsberg. Consciousness is a natural organic phenomenon. The Beats shared an interest in Nature, Mind, and Biology---areas that they expanded and held together with their radical political or antipolitical stance" (Michael McClure, SCRATCHING THE BEAT SURFACE: ESSAYS ON NEW VISION FROM BLAKE TO KEROUAC, 1982). Radical politics (or antipolitics), consciousness, biology---sounds like Rudy Rucker. Rudy, your fascination with biology is another factor linking you to the Beats.
