Horace Freeland Judson, the author of The Eighth Day of Creation (by far the best book on the revolution in biology: vivid, comprehensive, intellectually swashbuckling) is travelling to China for me to write about Chinese attitudes and standards in...
I have just finished reading The Emigrants, by W. G. Sebald, a German novelist who died in a car crash in 2001 at the relatively young age of 57. "Max" Sebald (pronounced "Tzebalt") lived in England from 1970, and...
We are posting Wade Roush's August feature on the convergence of social and wireless computing on Wade's continuouscomputing blog before the story's print publication--and encouraging readers to make comments, corrections, and suggestions. The best readers' remarks may appear in the...
"Gorgeous George" Galloway, a maverick British left-wing politician, who loudly opposed the Iraq War and who is accused of taking kick-backs from Saddam Hussein, testified before Congress yesterday. One of his interrogators was Christopher Hitchens, a British left-wing journalist, who...
We are very interested in tagging here at Technology Review (see our most recent story on the subject here). Tagging promises to be an important part of Wade Roush's August cover story on continuous computing. But until Matt Locke...
