Samuel Johnson
Thomas CarlyleRichard FisherFirst usage, which I learnt from @David_Farrier's book Footprints, was Thomas Carlyle in 1832 speculating whether the work of English writer Samuel Johnson would last the ages "...who shall compute what effects have been produced, and are still, and into deep Time, producing?"

Reality+: Virtual Worlds and the Problems of Philosophy
David J. ChalmersRichard FisherEnjoyed editing this - I had a rough sense of David Chalmers' ideas about consciousness & reality, but Tom deftly brings them together to show how they join up.
