Since that time I've been laboring on a monumental new book called "What Technology Wants."  I am relieved that this long-overdue work is finally done, and delighted that Penguin/Viking did a fabulous job in publishing it. The cover is cool, too.

I learned a lot from this investigation, and I think I found some answers that helped me evaluate technology in my own life, in a way that might help you do the same. I also changed my mind in the course of writing it and reluctantly concluded that most new technology is inevitable, and so we should make the most of that inevitability. I suppose this book will be controversial.

I can say without exaggeration that I wrote this book for you, in the hope that as you read it you will be refreshed and encouraged by its grand message of optimism and possibility.

Good synopsis of the current economic/cultural situation.

Tom Friedman's 'The World Is Flat ' comes to mind as well, as global tracking of these meta-level shifts.
