I saw you on C-Span BookTV this morning. I have yet to read a book of yours but am now very interested, partly because of the way you explore the subject matter. Also, research and study that touches on the ideas of "what our forefathers believed" and "what our country was founded on", is good for me to read and remember because I was, in my childhood, surrounded by a simplistic interpretation of what that was, put forth by writers and preachers in my religion. Although I have learned differently in my own studies, those old ideas seem to have grown in their pervasiveness and sway in our current political and cultural climate. People assume they know what was in the hearts and minds of this country's founders when they really don't have a clue. At least books like yours will help me to retain my own sanity in the midst of this.
By the way, that presentation with Brian Eno sounds very intriguing.

A friend of mine pointed me to your website and I should be in New York in November so hope to see you.

Enjoyed your talk in Ferrara yesterday. Many thanks.

Would love to see you in VA. Your October 26 talk seems conflicted--University of Virginia itself is in Charlottesville, VA, yet your schedule says Wise, VA. Now, there is a Clinch Valley College in Wise...

    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!
