I organized and moderated what I think will historically be among some of the most interesting public discussions of some of the most brilliant minds in the science of the digital. The two roundtables included thinkers such as Gregory Chaitin, Stephen Wolfram, Edward Fredkin, Anthony Leggett, Rob de Ruyter, Tommaso Toffoli, Karl Svozil, Cristian Calude, and Paul Davies. Transcripts of the roundtables can be found in my edited volumes Randomness Through Computation and A Computable Universe. I am in debt to Adrian German for his help in co-organizing with me one of the roundtables.
