you MUST get this book -

think about the chaos of the G20 protest this past summer, think about the new species of nationalism/patriotism that grew out of 9-11, think about the guantanamo bay detention camp... this audiobook was immediate, pressing, and hard to put down.

i think it's categorized as sci-fi or futuristic - the school textbooks are actually laptops that switch to that courses content (and, no surprise, they are sponsored by companies), and other technology driven differeces - but it was so relevant to TODAY.

on top of all that - the book made me want to get deeper into computers, to understand them more, to get my hands dirty - so to speak. we use this technology everyday and we're giving so much more away than we realize. this IS the future, and we need to get ready for it.
