fresh from dkp's desk, this choice link.  it's always great when real life events coincide with the finishing of a book.

here's the link

i had just finished reading kurzweil's the age of spiritual machines, so this is particularly timely and relevant.

on to dawkin's selfish gene, which i can't believe i haven't read yet.  first chapter isn't as dry as i would've thought.  no new ground has been broken though, which only makes sense considering how many of my favorite authors have been influenced by his work.

now i want to read more on zoology.
