A different informatics that incorporates the creativity and human knowledge of the entire brain is possible, Shapiro describes in Re-Thinking Science conducted by Ulrike Reinhard. Key texts published so far towards the invention of Computer Science 2.0 are: "Design for a Working Quantum Computer in Software", "The Paradigm of Object Spaces: Better Software is Coming" (co-author: Bernhard Angerer)., and "A Proposal for Developing Quantum Computing in Software" (co-author: Alexis Clancy).Shapiro was accepted at age 15 as an undergraduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

In a 10-page review-essay of his book Star Trek: Technologies of Disappearance, the journal Science Fiction Studies called his book one of the most original works in the field of science fiction theory. See also the extensive discussions of Star Trek: Technologies of Disappearance in Csicsery-Ronay's major reference work on science fiction studies, in The Routledge Companion to Science Fiction and in The Yearbook of English Studies.Shapiro has lived most of his life in the United States, but also 24 years in Europe (20 of them in Germany).".
