The Leonard Lopate Show today talks with Steven Johnson, author of Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation (Riverhead, ISBN 978-1594487712), and Kevin Kelly, author of What Technology Wants (Viking, ISBN 978-0670022151). PW found Johnson’s book to be “a sweeping look at innovation spanning nearly the whole of human history.... eye-opening stuff--although it does require an investment from the reader.” We called Kelly’s book “ingenious,” noting, “Kelly's wise attempts to explain our organic relationship with technology will surely provoke conversations with critics whose discussions of the evils of technology are limited to the negative impact of the computer and the Internet on culture.”
