Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Breezy essays on heady topics: cellular automata, fractals, mysticism, SF, Japan, and Peter Breughel among them. Flimsy in spots, a little out of date in others (some of the essays on technology date back to the 1980s), but nevertheless, an OK geek vacation book: mostly pleasant and easy, occasionally thought-provoking.
