You gotta do something about that Moral Capital link. I say either give us a name and password or remove it.

Well! sniff.. that sure wasn't a very long tour.. you didn't even venture up to the Great White North... besides having running water & electricity now, we read up here too.
You have missed a valuable market here, Steven.

On the prairies, what else do we do besides read great books and well ;) you know.
Seriously, many up here have a deep respect for your writings and it rather stings that you left us out.
:(:(:(
Do try to remember us next time, eh????

Zack Lynch

Yeah, I've bought six copies at six different independent book stores in SF so far... :)

Nice job. The book is well written and it's worth reading. My eyes are caught by the book cover immeidately at bookstore. Just curious, who's the book cover illustrator?

Congratulations, Steven. As SF goes, so goes the (reading) nation.

Hi,

I checked the prices for your book: The downloadable Adobe Reader ebook version costs US$ 10.49 on the Amazon.com website, yet EUR 14.34 at Amazon.de - for the same download!!

Now that´s crazy!

Hi Steven. I was just about to start an entry about your book on my blog, and I typed in your name and the title in google and your blog came up first in the search.

It's been awhile since I've read anything scientific, and your book has got me wondering why. You have a wonderful writing style, and the ideas keep me thinking long after the book is put down on the bedstand. I've been sharing some of what I've been reading with my daughter, who is twelve. I told her she could read the book when I'm done with it.

I heard about the book on NPR - your interview. I went immediately to the bookstore and put in an order for it (they didn't have it at the time). I had no idea how I was going to pay for it (I'm a poet and it was a tight month). That week I was finishing up a residency with elementary school kids, and they gave me a goodbye gift of a gift certificate for the store where I put in the order for your book. Ha! I was thrilled.

Anyway, a rather long ramble to tell you, excellent writing and I look forward to reading more of your work.

    The Basics

    • I'm a father of three boys, husband of one wife, and author of five books. In early 2007 I went and foolishly got myself a day job running the hyperlocal community site, outside.in that I co-founded the year before. We spend most of the year in Park Slope, Brooklyn, though I'm on the road a lot giving talks. (You can see the full story here.) Personal correspondence should go to sbj6668 at earthlink dot net. Media requests should go to Matthew.Venzon at us.penguingroup dot com.

    • : The Ghost Map

      The Ghost Map
      The latest: the story of a terrifying outbreak of cholera in 1854 London 1854 that ended up changing the world. An idea book wrapped around a page-turner. I like to think of it as a sequel to Emergence if Emergence had been a disease thriller. You can see a trailer for the book here.

    • : Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter

      Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter
      The title says it all. This one sparked a slightly insane international conversation about the state of pop culture -- and particularly games. There were more than a few dissenters, but the response was more positive than I had expected. And it got me on The Daily Show, which made it all worthwhile.

    • : Mind Wide Open : Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday Life

      Mind Wide Open : Your Brain and the Neuroscience of Everyday Life
      My first best-seller, and the only book I've written in which I appear as a recurring character, subjecting myself to a battery of humiliating brain scans. The last chapter on Freud and the neuroscientific model of the mind is one of my personal favorites.

    • : Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software

      Emergence: The Connected Lives of Ants, Brains, Cities, and Software
      The story of bottom-up intelligence, from slime mold to Slashdot. Probably the most critically well-received all my books, and the one that has influenced the most eclectic mix of fields: political campaigns, web business models, urban planning, the war on terror.

    • : Interface Culture : How New Technology Transforms the Way We Create and Communicate

      Interface Culture : How New Technology Transforms the Way We Create and Communicate
      My first. The book I wrote instead of finishing my dissertation. Still in print almost a decade later, and still relevant, I think. But I haven't read it in a while, so who knows what's in there!
