1. Go here:

   http://www.g4g8.com/speakers.html

<http://www.g4g8.com/speakers.html>2. For any paper whose abstract includes
a link, click on the link.

3. This takes you to an author's page owned by the author in question. Some
include the papers and others make it difficult. For example, the Scott
Aaronson link goes directly to the paper "Limits on Efficient Computation in
the Physical World" with two download formats; but the Banchoff page
http://www.math.brown.edu/~banchoff/ does not seem to include anything
related to "Flatland the Movie".

In general, these people are smart enough to realize their work will be most
useful if published. So while the papers might not appear on the Internet,
they are usually published.

So for example, the Banchoff paper I just cited was published in Leonardo
(MIT Press), look here:

   http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1162/leon.2009.42.1.77

and I suppose if you really need to read that, you can go through a suitable
library.
