James Gleick
(19??-)

James Gleick is a journalist whose output is divided between the IT world and science. Born in New York, he graduated from Harvard in 1976 and since then has had several staff jobs at the New York Times and written for magazines from New Yorker to Atlantic.

He made his name with his massively popular book on chaos theory, Chaos: Making a New Science, and went on to write a string of excellent popular science and 'where is technology going' titles.

Like quite a few other IT journalists he dabbled with an Internet company in the early 90s (The Pipeline). He lives in the Hudson Valley of New York with his wife, the author Cynthia Crossen (and their dog, Astro).

DISCLAIMERS

This site has no connection with Popular Science magazine or other sites and publications with a similar name.

Much of the content of this site is written by popular science writers or friends of popular science writers. Inevitably many of the reviews in such a small community are written by or about someone we know. We always aim to be impartial in our reviews, but there is a connection which we need make clear, as there is no intention to deceive. The content of any review or article is solely the opinion of the author and should not be read or understood on any other basis. The site exists to promote popular science writing and popular science authors and for this reason should be considered promotional material, just as the editorial reviews in an online bookshop or the blurb on the back of a book should be considered promotional.

The website should not be eaten or used where it can come into contact with water.
