The Invention Of Air Tour

We've had these in the sidebar for a while, but I wanted to post the full Invention of Air tour dates with all the venue information in the blog itself, for those of you reading via RSS. These should be a lot of fun -- I've been tinkering with the talk now for a week or two, and have got it into a pretty good place I think. And there's so much to discuss about the book, so the Q&A should be fun as well...

The full list is included after the jump, but this week's headlines: D.C. tonight, Tyson's Corner VA tomorrow night; Tribeca on Wednesday; Boston on Thursday, and Philly Friday night.

No Chicago? Oh well. Maybe I'll have better luck when your next book comes out. BTW, I gave my father The Ghost Map for xmas. He dug it.
Happy touring!
Dan

Any chance of appearances in Europe? Sweden maybe, it's beautiful in the spring and the air is particularly fresh:)

-Rikard

I'll echo Dan's comment above: No Chicago?

Yes, plan a trip to Chicago! Would love to hear you speak.

It's not that windy here, really. (This is also a plea for a Chicago stop.)

It would be great to see you in Cleveland!

Please come to Birmingham, Michigan. My
state is in dire need of thought provoking thinkers .......

    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. If you're interested in having me speak at an event, drop a line to Wesley Neff at the Leigh Bureau (WesN at Leighbureau 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!
