 * Williams Memo 38 Circulations**

I believe that as the size of the potential sphere of readership increases, the percentage of individuals from that 'sphere' who will actually read my work exponentially decreases. These spheres, of course, are not exclusive and the groups also overlap (somewhat). Each group is ordered in a list from the small to large potential spheres of readership. I hope that all of these lovely experts will be drawn in by interesting, detailed narrative, and the theory in the footnotes in the appendix will be very useful to anyone trying to think about technological change in a new way. I expect that these expert officials will be most drawn to their particular categorical description (if my book stays organized as it is currently organized in the chapter summaries -- who knows). I want them to leave with a greater understanding of how wide, and how subtly their influence works, and also with a better understanding of how to work together. I expect that these experts that I missed will read it because they have to. But hopefully, they will like it and pass it on to someone else who would find it particularly useful in his or her work. I want these experts to read it too -- I talk about this more in the Political Implications Memo.
