« Introducing Outside.in | Main | Own Your Own Words »
Whoa. It's been quite a day. Amazing response to outside.in, made slightly complicated by the fact that I've been in three cities, and two time zones since the site went live. I'm trying to synthesize all the feedback, and will post more extensively here shortly, but in the meantime, I forgot to mention that if you like the site, feel free to send us up the charts on Digg by following this link and giving us a thumbs up. Thanks!

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
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
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
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
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!
Hi Steven,
I am your mother-in-law's computer teacher, and she keeps me up on all the cool things you are doing. And then I start running into your writings in Harpers and other places. So I feel like I am really hip now, on the cutting edge knowing about all these things. Am looking forward to reading the Ghost book.
