Here're the blurbers: - Bruce Sterling - Lawrence Lessig - Kelly Link - Mark Frauenfelder - Karl Schroeder - Rudy Rucker - Howard Rheingold - Douglas Rushkoff - Tim O'Reilly - Bruce Schneier - Gardner Dozois - Mitch Kapor And the blurbs are great, like this one: Wow! Disney imagineering meets nanotechnology, the reputation economy, and Ray Kurzweil's transhuman future. As much fun as Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash, and as packed with mind bending ideas about social changes cascading from the frontiers of science. Tim O'Reilly Publisher and Founder, O'Reilly and Associates (_NB: This used to be 13 reasons, but I just realized that I somehow ended up with a phantom entry from Dan GIllmor, who, on closer examination, it appears I failed to deliver a copy to, like a total idiot. My apologies, Dan_) Link[1] Discuss[2] [1] http://www.craphound.com/blurbs.html [2] http://www.quicktopic.com/boing/H/ukUEeLcfy8zH
