Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science

An impressive effort that chronicles this moment as scientific discovery finds new pathways amid social networking and global connectedness. Forces one to think about the long-term implications.

Too Big to Know: Rethinking Knowledge Now That the Facts Aren’t the Facts, Experts Are Everywhere, and the Smartest Person in the Room Is the Room

A great read that helps integrate a hodgepodge of ideas and challenges into what T.S. Eliot might call an “overwhelming question.” As the world evolves in many directions, we need a few people to toss out bread crumbs for the rest of us. Follow Winberger’s crumbs.
