Brockman ties together material from interviews with scientists working on problems related to complexity in different disciplines to build an interesting picture of the state of the art in the mid-90s. This is one of those books that will make you want to go read a bunch of other books. [2005-12-25] (

In this treatise on the central role of science, John Brockman contends that science is becoming the predominant culture and scientists are taking the place of traditional intellectuals in answering the important questions facing humankind. Structured in interview format, The Third Culture consists of 23 noted scientists discussing their theories, the nature of scientific inquiry, and their common desire to be recognized as today's intellectual leaders.
