Celebrated author Steven Johnson is coming to the San Francisco Bay area this week! He's doing a couple of appearances -- Stacy's in town tomorrow (Monday) at 12:30, and Keppler's in Menlo Park on Tuesday at 7:30. For those of you who have been living under a rock, Johnson wrote Mind Wide Open, Interface Culture, and Emergence, along with loads of Magazine and Newspaper articles, inclusing one on Technorati's Breaking News service for Discover Magazine. Steven has a total knack for explaining and describing complicated science and theory in simple terms, while never losing the beauty and art of the idea or technology in the metaphor. I'll be doing everything I can to make it over to Stecey's for lunch...
