I'm seeing now that his new one it *is* out...
Great!

I thought it was his best to date and look forward to purchasing 'The Invention of Air' when it comes out.

Sometimes you do have to invest a few pages to see where he's going. It's worth the multiangle storytelling and 'progressive' morals if you ask me.

The book is very interesting but he isn't a great writer, and the editing on the book is terrible.

I still highly recommend it though.

the book is ok i guess...

he really digresses ALOT as he tries to prove his points, though

Had a lecture with Steven today at school(New School Univer. NYC), and he was great. We discussed everything from Cholera(obviously), to Google, the digital media and Second Life..
