Books 2007 #1 Ambient Findability

So slow, this year.

Ambient Findability: A fascinating read. One of my favorite parts of it is that he name checks people like William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, a lot. I think he tosses in a Neal Stephenson reference as well. That’s pretty cool.

As for the book itself, it’s really thought-provoking. As a whole it’s great, but page by page it’s almost too rich to keep up with. I’m planning on going through and looking through the footnotes for links as I was repeatedly intrigued by quoted articles and never had the time to fully explore them. There’s a lot of great practical insight here and a lot of wonderful speculation on the shape of things to come. Well worth it if you make the Internet your job.
