Review - What Just Happened - James Gleick

Gleick is best known as a popular science writer, but a lot of his work has been done in IT journalism, and popular technology (like popular maths) fits as well under the popular science banner as most topics.

This is a collection of articles and essays written over 10 years on Gleick's experience with the IT industry and his predictions for the way it's going to go. Sometimes, inevitably, he got it wrong, but it's still fascinating to see how one of the best science writers around viewed the growing PC and Internet world.

The information revolution may about more than business, but it's certainly at the heart of most businesses now, and there's plenty we can take from Gleick's largely business oriented view in these pieces back into the scientific/technological world.

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.
