JOE QUIRK
Vox noVus (papeRBacK)
scRiBD (elecTRonic)
Our very own humor columnist Joe Quirk takes on risk and hang
gliding. This book soars through the clouds (Kite Runner author Khaled
Hosseini has praised the book to the skies... twin spirits there — Joe
and Khaled). Quirk doesn't skimp on his humor. And if you're looking
for dude-lit with vision (and a hint of evolutionary psych), this one's for
you. – RU Sirius

BILL BRYSON
BRoaDway
A fascinating and delightful tour-de-force of a
book. Bryson summarizes what we know about the
world, especially through the history of science.
If you like reality, and appreciate those who bring
us closer to a clear description of what is really
going on with life, you will enjoy this book.
Radical technology advocates need to have
a grounding in the history of science. And Bryson
lets us take this trip with him, as we discover the
broad brushstrokes and the human anecdotes
of the scientific discoveries that impact our lives
everyday. – Rudi Hoffman

No surprises here, but a very elegant and useful overview of how a no-self philosophy is backed up by latest neuroscience.
Helpful and trans-humane. – Pat Kane

MANUEL CASTELLAS

One of the great theorists of the
information age takes it up another notch
for the era of social media, twitter and
texting. Castells is now fascinated by the
deeper reaches of network theory and
the hive mind, drawing on neuroscience
and complexity theory. – Pat Kane
