The volume was to have marked the occasion of Jon's 70th birthday, >> in the spring of this year. The editors have decided to continue with the >> planned volume. The book will give a clear account of Jon's pioneering >> contribution to the field of Information Technology and Law -- of which his >> papers on AI and Law were just one part -- in addition to showing the breadth >> of his work as a writer of fiction, and as a leading figure in the cultural >> and intellectual life of Norway. It will also contain personal reminiscences >> from a number of people who were privileged to have worked with Jon, and to >> have benefited from his openness to the interdisciplinary, and from his great >> generosity of spirit. >> >> In the meantime, we are pleased to provide links to two short papers by Jon >> Bing, which provide a glimpse of his extraordinary interests and talents. >> One, entitled "The Riddle of the Robots >> <http://www.jiclt.com/index.php/jiclt/article/download/57/56> ," draws upon >> his experience as a science fiction writer.
