I read version 1.0 as soon as it hit bookshelves and was just amazed at [...]

My latest read – Cognitive Surplus

Remember the last time you read a great story that you caught yourself peaking at the remaining unread pages because you didn’t want the story to end?  That’s how I can best describe Clay Shirky’s book Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age.  His stories were coming to a close before I was [...]

My latest read – The Next 100 Years
